Michelle MacInnes Obituary
AGE: 29 • Jackson
Michelle Mac Innes, 29, of Jackson, passed away suddenly Saturday, June 2, 2012.
Our angel Michelle arrived on Nov. 14, 1982. This pure giving sweet girl's mission on this earth was to her family and friends over the next 29 years. She gave to family, friends and strangers the first time she met a firm sense of Honesty, Charity, and Humility when you needed a hug or a helping hand. She was very compassionate and brought a sense of comfort for those in their deepest time of troubles or need. She had a deep love for her parents and her brothers. Michelle was a true friend to her two sisters-in-law, whom she considered as her sisters. Michelle had a special bond between her two nephews and three nieces. She made every holiday, birthday and visit so very special too them all.
Michelle graduated from Allentown High School in 2001. She excelled in athletics and academics. Michelle then attended Mercer County Community College on a Scholarship for Soccer and Basketball. Michelle graduated in 2003 with an AA in Advertising Design with Honors and was awarded Scholar Athlete of the Year. Michelle then attended Monmouth University and graduated in 2005 with a BA Graphic Art Design.
After completing college, Michelle followed her dream by entering the family business East Coast Salt. Over the next 7 years with Michelle's guidance, the company leaped forward during a time with economic difficulties. Michelle handled sales, HR, and became president of the company.
Michelle loved watching her favorite team the New York Giants. She attended many sporting events with her longtime college friend, Stacey. She was always seen with her little dog, Jake by her side. She will be missed by all. Our angel was taken back to heaven to be with our Lord, On June 2, 2012. Our hearts are saddened by her passing. All who truly had a chance to know Michelle have lost a piece of themselves due to this tragedy. The world is a lesser place without this true angel.
She is predeceased by her grandparents, Dave and Eleanor Mac Innes; and her maternal grandfather, Donald Merker. She is survived by her parents, David & Deborah Mac Innes of Jackson; her grandmother, Marge Merker and her two brothers, David and his wife Kelly of Jackson, and Michael and his wife Cristin of Englishtown. She is also survived by her nieces and nephews, David, Matthew, Caitlin Rae, Madison and Olivia Mac Innes.
Visitation will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, June 7, 2012 at Higgins Memorial Home, 20 Center St., Freehold. A mass will be offered at 10 a.m. Friday, June 8 at St. Joseph's Church, 90 Stillhouse Road, Perrineville. Michelle was in the process of establishing a college fund for her nieces and nephews. In memory of Michelle, the family wishes to continue with the fund. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the college fund for her nieces and nephews. Please send donations to Debbie Mac Innes, 16 Jefferson Court, Jackson, NJ 08527.

Miss you and your beautiful spirit. Find comfort in knowing that Jake is with you. Still see you coming around the corner in your little yellow car and Jake in the window. I'm sure you have your hands full with Jake, Sammy, and Bailey. I know you will keep them safe til their loved ones get to see them again. Think of you often but, especially when I see a butterfly, cardinal, or rainbow in the backyard. Hugs and kisses to we meet again.

I just wanted to send my deepest condolences to the MacInnes family. I did not hear of Michelle's passing until just today. I knew Michelle from a networking group we were in together and then after would see her occasionally and talk to her when I ordered salt :o)
She was a beautiful, kind, person and a sweet, sweet soul. I know it has been sometime since her passing and I truly apologize for not having known to send condolences sooner but please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Happy Birthday !!! 31 that means it was 10 years since your big 21 party you had in mom and dads new house. That was a crazy fun night and next day that's when Stacy had on the "Tigger is that you". The kids left you stuff on your grave and sent balloons to heaven with glow lights so you can see them. Matt-u decided to bite a glow stick before we went and got the liquid all over the carpet on the steps. Guess what, that stuff still glows he said aunt Michelle is probably laughing. Caitlin left you her 2 lucky pennies on top of your stone, when she woke up she found 2 pennies and thinks you brought them back. Caitlin talks about you everyday and remembers silly things you did with her she cries for you every once and a while. Every time we are out side and it's dark Matt-u and Caitlin look for the brightest star and say it's you in heaven. I miss you little buddy and not a day goes by I don't think of you. Cristin takes kids to grave all the time and she misses you very much as well. You would be proud of dad his office is nice and the build is full of salt and looks great. They got bunch of new trucks and jake even has a new bed at work which I seen him in the other day otherwise he sits with ryan in his chair. By looking at your grave it is easy to see that you are loved and missed and will never be forgotten. I got tattoo picked out for you just trying to figure out where I'm gonna put it and gonna get it pretty soon. We all miss you very much and I love you very much .... I miss my baby sister!!! <3

Shell,
I miss you little buddy. Need you to help me get through this tuff time. Since court I think I fell back into depression. I try and stay strong like you would tell me but inside it is eating me up. Maybe give me a sign to get me through this. I just been a mess lately. Wish so bad we could of changed June 2nd 2012. This really changed all our lives forever.
The kids talk about you often. Caitlin actually got a Email from you from heaven. She was checking her email on computer thing mom got her for Christmas and said aunt me-Shell sent me an email she went on saying how happy you are of her for doing so well in school and how proud you are of her about dance, and that were sorry for going to heaven so soon and you missed playing with all of them and one day you will play with them all when we all go to heaven.
We went shark fishing with dad Dave Trevor nick and Eric couple weeks ago and didn't catch anything and we were out about 30 miles. All of a sudden dad saw this beautiful butterfly and said look Michelle next thing we know we had 5 sharks circling the boat. We caught nice macko 125 lbs and at same time nick hooked into about 300 lb blue shark. We took pictures and then released him. You made us all so happy.
Not a hour goes by I don't think of you and I find my self actual going to call you sometimes.
I think court didn't do justic just rekindeled the fire and sadness we all have. You are greatly missed and not for gotten. Love you so much little buddy

Court was today I got up and spoke about taking your training wheels off. A lot of people attended. Didn't make me feel better wish we had you back you are very missed. Still can't sleep that's why I am here at 2 am I gotta work at 7. Love you little buddy
August 19, 2013
Michelle is looking over all of you, Mike. She loved her family from deep within. Pain is still there; but she would want you to "suck it up." It is very sweet when the kids talk about Michelle. I agree I was worried my kids would forget who she was. That is so not the case. Nicholas and Olivia still talk about her as well. Perhaps it is because we allow them to associate her memory in a positive light despite the pain we feel inside. Now you are making me cry.

Miss you little buddy. Was down the boat tonight with dad. Added some cool looking blue lights. They we were trying to catch crabs I kept missing them. Dad said you would of been laughing at me. Dad and mom enjoy the boat jake comes too. He sleeps on tile floor he tried getting in dads bed the first night, didn't work out for him. When mom gets off the boat he gets up on the coach looking for her like he still looks for you. Matt-u and Caitlin talk about you all the time. Cristin always talks about you to them. They even cry cause they miss you. I'm crying now cause I miss you. The world is a different place without you. I been dieting lost a lot of weight you would be proud of me. Love you little buddy and miss you dearly and think of you often. The new building is up and running you would be proud. Keep watching of our little guys and mom and dad.... Ill see you soon!

She'll,
Today is a year since you were taken from us. Not a minute of aday goes by with out me thinking of you. We are always talking about you. We go to your grave all the time. Caitlin is in dance and loves it and speaks of you often. I asked you to send me a sign which I believe you did, because her first big recital is today. Think you made it happen to try and keep us from being sad by making it a special day for her. Mom had mass said in your name and many people attended in your honor. Your building is done just waiting to move in. Dad picked out the colors in the office and did great job. Your head stone was put up and looks amazing. Caitlin and Matthew speak of you very often which makes me happy because I want them to remember you. I was worried they wouldn't remember you cause they were so young but you were so good to them and left an expression they will never forget. As I teach them to ride there bikes I remember teaching you by pushing you down the hill on you purple bike for the first time and mom worried I was going to hurt you because you fell over in the front yard as Bear ran along side you. I miss you little buddy more then words can describe. As my tears drip down my face as I type this. I hear you telling me to suck it up and stay strong for mom and dad. We just all miss you and are sad you were taken away to soon. Love you shell. XOXOXO

I heard you during the marathon. At mile 11, two Sugarland songs came on back to back and I heard you laugh and say my name. There's a hole here. A big one that no one else can fill.
Someone yesterday asked about the Team Tank Top bracelet and I was telling her all about tank tops, BBQs, wands, and sparkly santa hats. We got you another silver one and will bring it up soon. I miss you, girl. I think about you every day. We come up about once a month and talk with you and laugh with you. Hope you liked the snowman that lasted probably all of a day lol. Keep looking down on you family and friends and thanks for the rainbow over your house the day after to let us you that you were with the Lord.
Love and miss you every day. Hope someone in Heaven told you that you were "tutu old" on your 30th. <3

It has been said that love is stronger than death. Although love cannot stop our loved ones from being abruptly taken away it cannot take away our memories and the spiritual connection will forever remain.
On this day, we celebrate Michelle?

Shell,
We miss you so much. Caitlin was asking mom about you. I'm so glad my kids had you as thier aunt me-shell. The whole way home from moms house they asked about you and heaven. We had bad thunder storm and Matthew asked if it rained in heaven or if thier was chocolate milk. The thinks they think of. Then last night Cristin took them to night out they had rides and stuff and Caitlin asked to wear the light up shoes because aunt me-shell likes the rides and said you would be so happy she had your shoes on. We are going fishing Sunday.... I'll be thinking of you the time we were fishing at the end of the hook and the big ship blew the horn and you almost jumped in the water. I don't understand why this happened to us!!!!!! They say time heals everything except a shark bite but it feels like it is getting worse. Glad you and me were so close growing up and just as you use to look up to me and tell everyone you wanted to find someone like me..... I always looked up to you...even tho I never told you I always listened to what you said. 9 times out of 10 you were right that other time I was. Lol. Love you little buddy and think of you every second of the day!!!

Shelly-O, It's been so long since I heard you call my name little dd. I miss you so much. I talk to you every morning before I go to work and give you a kiss. I know your in a much better place. We where supposed to spend our golden years together talking about how things used to be and tell stories to the kids about wen we were young and about how good mom and dad were to us, Grandma, Pops, Grampa Merker, Nanny, Grandma and Grampa Wenzel. Now I don't have my buddy to share the stories. You were so pleasant to be around always smiling and laughing. Making every event special. I try to be more like you and its a true effort and you did it without trying.:) I miss you so much. I love you shells.

Can't belive your in heaven for 57 days. Seems like yesterday I was sitting here with you. Love u shell. Miss you dearly. I try and stay focussed. Gonna take kids to see grandma and pee-pa when they wake up!
Mike MacInnes
July 25, 2012
Shell, today I went to bed at 130 and back up at 4:00. As I sit in the dark and try to view our life without you. I cry uncontrollable as it has been the worst 53 days of our life. I look at pictures and see you so happy . I am very sad and angry that you were taken from us. Why? Why? The kids ask for you and want to know if you got the balloons they sent you. Matt-u took your picture and put it above his bed so you can watch over him. Caitlin said the other day "I want aunt me-shell to hug me, and to tell you she is out of diapers got big girl under wears". I hope you are always in their memories. When you went to heaven something was taken from everyone. The pain is getting worse every minute And tears are heavier. I can't sleep, remember anything and focus just feels like I'm in a daze. I am totally lost with out you little buddy. Just wish I could hear u call me my nickname 1 more time. I watered you grass Monday and Cristin got you such pretty flowers for grave. That silly donkey across street from your grave does make me laugh the noises he makes. I can picture standing there laughing every time he makes that silly sound. Love you shell I'm going to come by later to vist you <3

Feels like yesterday you and me were ride our bikes in basement. Or the little car thing u had and we made your baby alive carriage into a trailer and I would push you around and you would make the truck sounds. I am just happy you and me were so close. I wish I could pull your hair while you have pony tail to make the bump, just one more time. I remember doing that since you were 4 or 5. Just don't understand why you were taken from us!!!! I'm glad I have so many memories with you also so many pictures. We found hundreds of pictures of you. Miss you little buddy

Flag and star tattoos , glow in the dark necklesses, etc. I know you wanted that redneck 4th of july party we all talked about it. The kids had fun but we all felt the extreme pain we all held inside with out you there. Its just not the same dude. You made it all about the kids and fun for everyone. How do we replace that buddy.

Shelly-o, I miss you kid! I think of you none stop. Not a moment or thought can pass through my mind without me thinking how you smiled, said, laughed, joked, or even got mad at stupid things. As I write this it's 4am on Sunday morning and im looking at how beautiful you are. I just can't imagine you not being in my life anymore physically. I know you are gone rationally but my heart tells me its not true. You must be on a vacation with stacy. Maybe you will be back in a week or two. But I know this will never happen. It's just not fair. Why take you? Take me instead. Mom and Dad miss you so so so much and Im so worried about them. I cant lose them too. The kids cant either. I love you baby. xoxoxo. Big DD

Michelle,
The hood is just not the same without you. I keep expecting to follow a yellow car into the hood or see a yellow car coming around the corner with Jake in the passenger seat. Not one day has gone by since you are gone that I haven't seen at least one or more yellow cars and thought of you. Annie, Nan, and I looked up at the stars tonight looking for you in the sky. I know you are in a better place but my heart breaks thinking of you and the loss that all of us that are left behind feel. I know they say God only gives us what we can handle but, no one deserves to have you taken away from all of us especially not your Family. You were always a happy and pleasant surprise to see with your bright smile and loving hugs that are dearly missed. The neighborhood has gone though a tremendous loss in the past year but, losing you has been truly devasting. May God give us all the strength and grace to carry on without you here but, with your spirit guiding us. Hugs and kisses

Michelle, may your earthly body rest in peace, while your soulr is in God's hands. I pray that my Mom and you can seat at the table of the Lord and look down on us with a smile. We all will miss you and love you. Don't worry Mom & Dad, Sharon and I will take care of the kids. We will share your pictures and stories as they grow older. We all miss you. God bless.

Michelle, I have a few questions. What do we do now that you have left us? I feel so empty inside . I find it hard in the morning to believe that the birds continue to chirp and sing since your accident. How can the world continue to be beautiful with you gone? How can a sunny day without clouds now be beautiful without your bright smile and laughter? How can a day go by and be joyous without you swinging your hair and laughing? I try to make my peace with god every morning since june 2nd. I still find it difficult to understand as an adult why with such an amount of evil in the world, god would remove a true angel which was spreading joy and love? I love you so much. My heart aches with the pain I'll never hear you say " What's up guys" or "Hey little DD what ya doing". I lay on your bed crying, Monday June 4th waiting for you to walk in and say "hey what are you doing in my room" with a big smile. Little DD and Madison still cry because they miss you. I tell them you are in their hearts and with god and around them all the time. I can't wait to see you again and call you dude and pull your pony tail. I miss you so much. Michelle please continue to watch over Mom, Dad, DD, Madison, Livy, Kelly and I. We will take care of Jake, Mom, and Dad. Love you baby girl.

Michelle, my life has changed forever. Love you so much. You will always be my little buddy. Does not feel real waiting for you to walk in with all the stuff you would buy the kids.

I had the pleasure of meeting Michelle at NorthStarVets with her wonderful sidekick jake. I am one of the rehab vets who cared for jake. Michelle was an incredibly bright and caring young woman. Her love for jake - AND indeed jake's love for her- was obvious. I was devastated to hear the news. My heart goes out to the entire family. She was obviously an incredible young woman and i am glad to have had the opportunity to be touched by her life. Dr Lo

RIP Michelle, I am so happy that you met Tara at college and I was able to meet you and become friends with such an amzing person
