Michele R. Youngbauer

1990 - 2024

Michele Renee Youngbauer, 33, of Jeannette, ended her journey with us on Aug. 23, 2024. She was born Nov. 14, 1990, and lived a life full of love and laughter. Michele managed to perfect the balance of keeping her feet on the ground and her head in the clouds. She was passionate about food, and loved to cook and bake, activities she shared with her daughter, Averie, who was her whole heart. Aside from being an excellent mother, Michele had an outstanding work ethic. She was dedicated to her job and coworkers, most recently at Live! Casino in Greensburg. Michele is preceded in death by grandparents, Sonja Koschalk, and Donald Youngbauer; and great-grandmother, Stella Koschalk. Michele is survived by parents, Debra (Koschalk) Savage (Jeff), and John Youngbauer; grandmother, Dorothy Youngbauer; siblings, Stephanie Berlin, Jay Youngbauer, and Megan (William) Leone; a nephew, Kobe Berlin, who was more like a brother; and a niece, Oaklee Youngbauer. Michele's best friend forever, Jessica (Maline) Graham; best friend and co-parent, Josh Rohm; partner, Wes Gugar; and furbabies, Luke and Vader, all held very special places in her heart. Michele also leaves behind several aunts, uncles, and cousins, all of whom she loved dearly. Michele Renee cared deeply about everyone in her life, as well as those she didn't know. Through her giving nature she will continue to live on and bless the lives of those she's never met, and those she'll never leave. Michele's final farewell will take place Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024, with visitation to be held from 12 to 2 p.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. at MASON-GELDER FUNERAL HOME, INC., 201 North First St., Jeannette.
