Michele Morse Obituary
A celebration of her life will be at 5 p.m. Sunday at Kalifonsky Christian Center.
Michele was born Jan. 20, 1963, in Portland, Ore., to Lawrence and Susan Hoyez. She attended school in Portland, Ore. Michele served in the U.S. Navy during which time she became a licensed beautician. She lived in Sitka for nine years and while there, she owned and operated the "Harbor Hair" beauty shop.
On May 12, 2004 Michele was married to Kenneth Lee Morse in Nikiski. She continued her work as a beautician at the Affinity Salon & Day Spa in Kenai but also became a substitute teacher for the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District. At the time of her death, Michele was working as an individual support specialist for Hope Community Resources in Soldotna.
"Michele was a very giving, kind and considerate person," her family wrote. "She loved to make gifts and give them away as a blessing. She had done this many times at her home church, Nikiski New Hope Christian Fellowship, and the congregation was always very blessed.
"Michele enjoyed crafts, sewing, getting manicures and pedicures, playing Spider Solitaire or Nertz. Her favorite color was purple, and her cat's name was Skoshi. Megan, Michele's stepdaughter, said, 'Michele loved Cheerios!' "
Michelle is survived by husband, Kenneth Morse of Kenai; son, Romeo Bautista of Portland; mother, Susan Hoyez of Portland; father, Lawerence Hoyez of Arizona; "Sitka Mom," Ann Bills and husband, Mike of Sitka; half-sisters, Lara Phelps of Oregon, Lisa Hildum of California; half brother, Kenneth Hildum of Oregon; foster daughter, Kristina Massa Shaslko of Washington; stepsons, Kristopher Morse and Dylan Morse of Kenai-Sterling and step-daughter Megan Morse of Kenai-Sterling.

Michelle was a very special friend during my adolesent years. We played, fought, made up, dreamed and prayed together. We have shared some of the most painful and the most pleasant of life's offerings.She knew my darkest secrets and my wildest dreams. We were "blood sisters". We drifted apart, as we entered adulthood and different paths. My heart goes out to those who shared time with her. May you find peace. May we all keep Michelle in our hearts and in our thoughts and in this way, keep her with us always. A truly "good" person, Michelle.....you will be missed.
