Michele J. Sharkey DVM

I met Mish at Notre Dame - I had the privilege of being one of her teachers. She lives in my memory as a beautiful person, inside and out. I am grateful to have known her.

My heart breaks for you all...we shared a special friendship over the past years Mish always shared her kindness and knowledge and always helped me understand the Veterinarian world. We shared many pet photos and always kept in touch with fun text throughout the years. I will truly miss her

I am so sorry for your loss. Michele was a wonderful colleague at CVM and we'll miss her deeply. My prayers go out to her family during this most difficult time.

I knew Michelle professionally for approximately 6 years. She spearheaded the collaboration between the NIH, FDA and academic researchers in pain and veterinary medicine. Her contributions to studying pain in animals and relieving their suffering are numerous. She was an organizer, motivator, contributor, and leader. Her accomplishments have enhanced the research of thousands, the impacts of which will be felt for generations. Thank you Michelle, you will be sorely missed.

I was a an angry and hurting teen when I met Mish junior year at Notre Dame. My parents had just separated and moved me to new high school. Fortunately, despite my surly attitude, Michele took me under her wing. She even got me a date for the prom. Yes Chuck, that would be you! This was a real turning point for me, and I will be forever grateful. Mish and I kept in touch after graduation from NDA and she was even present the night my husband to be proposed to me! St Patrick´s Day 1991. So,...

She was class act I attended villa Maria and academy of notre dame with her and when my sister commited suicide she was the only who looked up my father's address and handwritten card was written by her . My dad gave me the card when he saw but I cherished the. Handwritten card. She will be missed . May She rest in peace and prayers are being sent to your family

Michelle was a classmate of mine at Notre Dame. We used to pick her up on Doe Run Ln. and she would ride to school with us. A beautiful & intelligent woman. God bless.

You all have my deepest sympathy in your loss of Michele. She was a wonderful classmate, and will be greatly missed by all whose lives she touched.

Very sorry about the passing of Michele Sharkey. Dr. Sharkey was kind enough to help me with our dog, Buddy. We were having difficulty understanding the status of his condition from our local Vet. Dr. Sharkey was kind enough to take time out of her Sunday and speak to me over the phone regarding congestive heart failure in dogs. Her advice and suggestions were immensely helpful to us. I remember toward the end of our conversation she left me with a parting thought that has stayed with me...
