Michelle Fladd Obituary
Besides her father, she was preceded in death by her husbands, Dale Serafin, and Wilbur A. Fladd.
Michelle is survived by her mother, Lois Bartos; two children, Luray Fladd and Adam Fladd; four siblings, Deborah Morton, Darlene Beganics (Linda), Brian Beganics (Trina) and Dedriene Adams; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Michelle was a graduate of Strong Vincent High School where she participated as a majorette and twirler with the marching band. She was a life-long enthusiast of the marching and performing arts, and previous member of The Thunderbirds drum corp of Erie.
Michelle's greatest loves were spending time with her family and caring for every fur baby she came across. Known as 'Mama Fladd' by many, Michelle's spirit of care and compassion will never cease.
Michelle's family extends heartfelt gratitude to our special team of doctors, nurses, aides, and therapists in the CVICU at UPMC Hamot. Your care, compassion, and support helped guide us through the last few very difficult months.
A celebration of Michelle's life will be planned for a future date with family and friends. Brugger Funeral Homes & Crematory, 1595 W. 38th Street, assisted with the arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Orphan Angels Cat Sanctuary, 5439 W. Lake Rd., Erie, PA 16505.

My heart goes out to Michelle's family. She was such a wonderful person.
She was such a big help every tax season, helping us with scheduling and keep us on track. I will miss seeing her at tax time every year.
