Foster City
Michelle Henriette Caugant, aged 68, died on December 31, 2015 at home, after a long struggle with a rare neurological disorder. Michelle was born February 21, 1947, in Paris, France, the daughter of Henri and Fernande Caugant. With her family, she moved to San Francisco, California in 1958.
Michelle thoroughly enjoyed the outdoors. She loved hiking, bicycling, skiing and walking on the beach. As a member of the Sierra Club, Michelle hiked the Alps in Yugoslavia and Sierra Nevada mountains of California. She shared a passion for cooking healthy, nutritional food. Michelle travelled extensively around the world. She graduated from Abraham Lincoln High School and attended Sonoma State College.
In 1980, Michelle married Jeffrey Adler of San Francisco and lived in Foster City, California for 35 years. She worked in the medical field for more than 20 years. In addition to raising their two sons, she also was a caretaker for many other family's children.
Michelle is survived by her husband Jeffrey, sons Matthew and David Adler, and sisters Jacqueline Martin and Catherine Terhune. There will be a celebration of her life at her home in Foster City. Donations can be sent in her name to CurePSP, whose mission is the awareness, education, care, and cure for devastating Prime of Life neurodegenerative diseases. - See more at: http://www.psp.org/about-curepsp/

A year ago - how time just keeps marching along! I missed planning a gift for you for Christmas, Michelle! It was always fun to try to decide what would be the best thing for you! I continue to have many wonderful memories of "our youth" and the great times we had - mostly before you moved back to San Fran from Long Beach. I pray that now you, Jeff, and Matthew and David, are being able to enjoy many memories from your dearest Michelle (wife & mother) and that the empty heart-ache of her absence is not as sharp; you were all blessed to have been a part of Michelle's family! Hugs to you all!

Michelle - although i only met you a few times, i thought you were a wonderful woman. my parents and jeff's parents were friends long before he and i were even born so we have a history. his parents watched me daily after school until my mom got home from work so the entire family was like a second family to me. I know you will be missed by everyone who knew you and i pray that you will rest in peace. love, lorraine

We knew Michelle and Jeff from monthly Vegetarian Potluck dinners. She always had interesting stories and lived life to its fullest. May her soul dwell in the glories of nature and may she rest in peace.
Sincerely, Howard and Cindi Goldberg

Dear Michelle, it has been an honor to have met you. You are very courageous. May you forever rest in Jeff's heart as well as your children's.
