Michelle Paglia Obituary

PAGLIA

MICHELLE GRACE (NEE BOURLIER) Age 75, succumbed to cancer on September 4, 2016. Michelle raised her family and made her home in St. Clair Shores for over 30 years before moving to Florida. She was an award winning artist well known for her original watercolor florals, landscapes and abstract paintings. She was a member of many area art clubs and associations throughout her career. Her extraordinary talent and love for art led her to teach her expertise to countless students for many years. Michelle is survived by her children, David, Jeff and Lisa Paglia-Borgacz; grandchildren Alycia, Stephanie, Nicholas, Brendan, Natalie, Matthew, Alexis and Nathan; brothers Ken, Chris and Michael; and many nieces and nephews. A memorial celebration will take place at a later date.

I am so, so sorry to hear of Mrs. Paglia's passing. She always was so nice to me and gave Tom and I a beautiful painting of our wedding. Thinking of the entire Paglia family. Hugs. Deb (Skiles) Plunkard.
