Michelle Davila Obituary
It is with profound sadness we share the passing of Michelle Rene Davila, who left us on May 26, 2025, at the age of 61.
Born on July 4, 1963, Michelle was the beloved daughter of Jess and Rita Tafoya and sister to Le'Anne Tafoya.
In 1989, Michelle married the love of her life, Joe Davila. Together, they raised four wonderful children: Samantha, Shelby, Sabrina, and Sidney. Michelle was also a proud grandmother to Oakley.
Surrounded by her loving family and friends in her final moments, Michelle was a woman of immense wisdom, strength, humor, and beauty.
We welcome all to join us in celebrating the beautiful life and legacy of someone who will be deeply missed.
A Memorial Service will be held at French Funerals and Cremations (Wyoming) on June 12, 2025 at 11:30am.

Michelle was a very special friend to me. We enjoyed 'dates' to the Roadrunner Souper bowl. I'm so sad that I had not spent more time with her since my Jessi died.

My heartfelt condolences to the Tafoya family. My prayers are with all of you at this time. I loved hanging out with Michelle when we were kids. I only wish we had kept in touch when we grew up. Rest in peace cousin Michelle.
