Michelle Bruce Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Giberson Funeral Home - Madison on Mar. 2, 2026.
Madison: With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Michelle Ashley Bruce, who left this world far too soon at the young age of 37 on February 22, 2026.

Michelle was born on December 6, 1988, in Concord, Massachusetts, to Michael Ingalls and Cheryl Anderson. From the very beginning, she brought light and love into the lives of those around her. Though her time on earth was brief, her impact was immeasurable. Michelle was a devoted wife to Michael and a loving mother to Peyton, Chloe, and her stepdaughter, Lexus. Her family was her greatest joy, and she dedicated her life to creating a home filled with warmth, laughter, and unconditional love. She was known for her compassionate heart, beautiful smile, and the way she made everyone feel valued and supported. She truly made her home, everyone's home.

She is survived by her husband, Michael Bruce; her children, Peyton, Chloe, and Lexus Bruce; her parents, Michael Ingalls and Cheryl Anderson, and stepmother, Nicole Miller; her siblings, Kyle, Dylan, and Allie Ingalls and her significant other, Johnathon; her aunts and uncles; Lorraine Ingalls, Barbara and Bob Orzechoski, Susan Frost and husband Mark Ramsdell; her father and mother-in-law, Randy and Vanessa Bruce; her sister/brother in laws Jessica and Nicholas Berry, Samantha and David Allen; and additional family members such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Sydney and Frances Ingalls.

Michelle will be remembered for her strength, kindness, and unwavering love for her family, friends, and work family at MSAD 59. She was a dedicated sports mom and loved spending her days supporting her children and their teams. Though 37 years was far too short, she lived each day with purpose and devotion. Her memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

A Memorial Service will be held on March 7, 2026, at 10:00 am at Madison High School, Madison, Maine.

Services are under the care of Veilleux-Redington-Lawry Brothers, 8 Elm Street, Waterville. An online guestbook may be signed and memories shared at www.vrlfuneralhome.com
