Michelle Donoho Obituary
Born on June 21, 1982, Michelle had a kind heart and a creative spirit. She was known for her TikToks, which became a positive and supportive outlet for many, especially those facing challenges with addiction. Through her openness and compassion, she helped several individuals find hope and strength in their recovery journeys.
Michelle had a deep love for her dogs and found joy and comfort in caring for them.
She is survived by her children, Taylor Nance-Wilson and husband Hunter, Jordyn Forbes, Shane Forbes, and Marlee Donoho; her grandmother, Donna Nelson; and a dear family friend, Billye Plunkett.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Retta Evans, and her infant son, Zachary Nance.
Michelle will be remembered for her kindness, her empathy toward others, and the way she made people feel seen and cared for. She will be missed dearly by many.
No service information is available at this time per the family's wishes, donations can be made to Fayette county animal control or Second chance animal shelter.

Mom, My dearest best friend. Words can't explain how upset and angry i am at the world for this, it's taken me quiet a bit of time to speak on this because the subject alone kills me in the inside. But something ive always wanted you to know is that I love you so much more than you thought, it hurts knowing you can't watch me grow, have kids, get married and live life how you wanted to. And it's all because of Wes Donoho the man who murdered my mother. Im terribly broken by this. I hope one day i find the peace you now have. Ill love you forever momma. - shane.
