Donna S. Michael

I can't believe this world is coming up on 4 years without being blessed by your presence. Donna, you brightened up my life in more ways than you could imagine. You shaped me into the person I am today. Because of you I myself have begun teaching music and I strive to give each and every single one of my students even a fraction of what you blessed me and my family with. I wish you could've seen how I've grown up and matured. I wish you could've seen me become a teacher myself, get back...

Ms. Michael was my music teacher at the Morey school. Because of her easygoing nature, I felt comfortable enough in class to occasionally break from the script to try and get a laugh from her and the rest of the class. As a result of my antics, she put me as the lead in one of the school musicals which is a cherished memory I will never forget. I am very sorry to hear of her passing. Her loving spirit and impact on others will carry on forever.

I think of Donna so often .. she was the biggest parts of my childhood .. the best years of my life were spent with my accordion family ..we spent a lot of time outside of the studio with Donna as well ... beautiful memories ❤

Donna was my best friend since the day I was born and every week I'd look forward to seeing her white Avalon after school on Wednesdays. To say she was my piano teacher is an understatement since she was much, much more to me and my brothers. She was nothing short of family. Wether we were at the piano, playing a board game or a game of cards, or just talking, I adored every second I was lucky enough to spend with her. I'm extremely grateful to have spent the first 15 years of my life as her...

I'm Stephen Maxwell, the 1980's were a gem as Ms. Michaels would sit at the piano in that school gym at C. W. Morey Elementary or we would sing in the classroom. Always Ms. Michaels would make the holidays fun especially when "Lamb Chop" Memorial Day singing would come over the satellite. I surely appreciate Ms. Michaels as I have been a song leader in Church and a drummer in the Orchestra. Thank you Ms. Michaels, you are sorely missed. Blessings.

Ms. Michael was an amazing music teacher..I had the pleasure of knowing her when I attended the Morey School in the mid 80's..my favorite memories were our concerts and plays.! She had an amazing passion for music and enjoyed playing the piano. May she rest in the sweetest peace.

A wonderful person and classmate. If there was a category for most musical, Donna would have won hands down. I can only picture her playing in her heavy blue band uniform.

Donna Michael was such an inspiration to my daughter, Katie. Katie started piano lessons with Donna at the age of 8 from a coupon we saw in the newspaper for a free lesson. My Katie has since became a wonderful music teacher with a strong classical piano background. Donna was one of the major influences in Katie's life and she was a great person overall. She was such an influence to so many children over the years! May God bless Donna and welcome her into heaven....
