In Loving Memory of Michelle Hensley Crunkleton

Michelle Crunkleton (Hensley), a loving wife, mother, and proud grandmother, passed peacefully on November 16th, 2025 at Carolina Caring in Dallas, NC.

She is preceded in death by her loving parents, Jerry Russell Hensley, and Dorothy “Dot” Robinson Hensley.

Michelle’s leaves behind a devoted husband, David Cramer. Her son, Andreu Crunkleton and wife Chelsea. As well as her daughter Molly Shackelford.

Her grandsons, Reed and Colt, brought her immeasurable joy and were her greatest treasures. She also leaves behind many cherished aunts, uncles, cousins, and long time friends.

Those who knew Michelle will remember her warmth, her laughter, and her unwavering kindness. She lived life with a heart wide open, and will certainly be missed earth-side.

Michelle cherished family most in life, therefore, the family is choosing to have a private ceremony.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor her memory by spending time with loved ones, just as Michelle would have wished. Or consider donating to The Humane Society of Lincoln County where she rescued her canine companion, Elm.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
