Michele Paciello

Michele Paciello (nee Button), born December 11, 1964, in Johnson City, NY, passed away on July 15, 2024, in Spokane, WA.

Michele never met a stranger, considering everyone a friend. She truly loved life and made sure to live it to its fullest. Whether attending concerts, floating the river, or even grocery shopping, people were always drawn to her larger-than-life personality and her genuine care for those around her. Her sense of humor was ever-present, especially while beating any challenger at Mad Gab.

Michele is preceded in death by her mother, Violet Harendza; mother-in-law, Carol Sisemore; and her youngest son, Dylan Jardin. She leaves behind many loved ones, including her daughter, Tanya (Russell) Henry; sons, Nathan (Leslie) Hutchins, Paul (Tyler) Rose; daughter-in-law, Olya (the late Dylan) Richards; and her five grandchildren, Austin, Kenny, Anastasia, Dominic, and Bodhi, all of whom she loved fiercely. Michele also leaves behind her sister, Kathy (Steve Vranich) Heath; her beloved niece, Nicole "Nikki" (Ryan) Hayden; and her Prince Charming, Richard Hatanpaa.

Michele's greatest joy in life was being a mother. She often suggested buying a huge house so all of her children and their families could all be close to her. It brings her family solace to know that she is reunited with her loved ones whom she cherished so deeply and dearly.

A memorial service in Michele's honor will be held Sunday, August 4, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., at Dahl Funeral & Cremation Service, 300 Highland Boulevard, Bozeman, MT. In keeping with Michele's spirit, all are welcome to attend.
