Our family is deeply saddened by the unexpected loss of our precious Michelle on December 22, 2025. Michelle was known for being a bright, caring & lovable soul who was always thoughtful of others. She lived life to the fullest, took care of her family and always had a smile on her face. She loved to bake and cook for her family, she made the best tiramisu and loved her NY Rangers hockey team & the NY Mets. I'm sure she's cheering them on from up above.
Michelle had many future dreams of getting land, growing her own food and raising her girls with lots of farm animals. Michelle will be forever missed for her kind and generous character. She will always be in our hearts and thoughts. We love you Michelle, watch over your beautiful daughters and rest in peace sweet angel.
Michelle is preceded in death by her grandparents Werner & Alma Hauschild, Walter & Joan Cusack, Uncle Rudy, Uncle Mike & Martha, Uncle Jack, Uncle Frank, cousin Jack and her best friend Kayla Montoya.
Michelle is survived by her Mother Lorraine Hauschild and Father Walter Cusack, siblings Jessica, Crystal and Casey, nephew Chase Cusack, Aunt Christine, partner Mark Pallottino and her 3 beautiful girls Erika Rose (9), Giovanna Kayla (5) and Giulietta Shea (3) plus many friends and relatives in NY.
