I was lucky enough to get know Michele over the last few years. She lived at the assisted living I worked for and was in my activity group. Michele was so much fun to be around and was a friend to all. She will be dearly missed.

Michelle was incredibly smart, talented, kind, and witty. I enjoyed our friendship and musical experiences at Carbon High and CEU. I’m so sorry to hear of her passing.

I remember Michelle, full of energy from swimming and of grace when others were in need. I am sorry she was taken so soon.
