Michelle Cosgrove Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gary Panoch Funeral Home & Cremations on Nov. 28, 2025.
Michelle R. Cosgrove, 72, of Lake Worth, Florida, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 25, 2025. Born on September 19, 1953, in Brooklyn, New York, Michelle lived a life filled with creativity, compassion, and unwavering devotion to her family.

A woman of many talents, Michelle was a homemaker, hairdresser, author, seamstress, artist, and entrepreneur. She approached every endeavor with heart and imagination, leaving behind countless memories and handcrafted treasures that reflect her generous spirit. Her creativity was matched only by her love for those around her, and she will be remembered for her warmth, resilience, and the joy she brought to all who knew her.

Michelle is survived by her beloved husband, Michael W. Cosgrove, and her four children, who were her pride and joy: Melissa Cato and her son Tyler James; Andrew Feinman and his wife Jennifer; Heather Miro and her husband Luis, along with their son Luis Xavier; and Christopher Cosgrove and his wife Danielle, and their children Jackson Lucas, Jacob Michael, and Emery Rae.

She is also survived by her loving mother Toby Reiss. She was preceded in death by her father, Stanley Reiss.

A celebration of Michelle's life will be held on Saturday, November 29, from 1:00–3:00 PM at Gary Panoch Funeral Home, with a live-streamed service beginning at 2:00 PM for those who wish to honor her from afar.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests memorial donations be made to the Facial Pain Research Foundation, an organization close to Michelle's heart: https://facingfacialpain.org/donate/

Michelle will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered.
