Michele made her final transition on Tuesday evening June 11, 2024, at 10:02 PM. She succumbed to Lung Cancer which recently metastasized to her skeletal bones and brain after many years of fighting this disease. Michele spent the early years of her life with her family moving between homes in St. Cloud, a community in the western suburbs of Paris and St. Pryve St. Mesmin, Loiret, France

Michele immigrated to the United States at the age of twenty as the wife of a U.S. soldier. They settled in Hempstead, New York for approximately 10 years before moving on to the Livermore Valley in California. She retired from the Livermore Laboratories. After retirement, she and her husband retired to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, eventually moving to Los Angeles, where they lived in Palos Verde and Redondo Beach before moving on to Las Vegas, Nevada.

Michele is survived by her Husband (Willie) and her son (Michael). She was preceded in death by her mother Marcelle Renee (Richard) Lanzeray, and Father Marcel Georges Albert Lanzeray. Michele was a dedicated mother and wife. Nothing made her happier than supporting and spending time with her son. She never hesitated to show and share her PRIDE for her husband and son. Michele was also a great lover and supporter of cats and dogs.

Michele was well known and liked by all. She never judged a person by what others thought and she always found good in everyone she encountered and was a fiercely loyal friend. Her Real Estate Clients found comfort knowing that Michele would provide professional advice covering all aspects of their deal, whether a sale or purchase.

Michele’s remains will be spread in the Livermore Valley near Mt Diablo in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California.
