The Lord graced the world with the pleasure of knowing Michelle Meiser, affectionately known as Shelly, on April 16, 1960. She spent her time on earth evangelizing the world and taking part in multiple mission trips. Michelle adored the Lord’s creation in the mountains and mother nature. She cherished her family and hosted gatherings often, serving as the bond that held many relationships together. Michelle truly never met a stranger and was bold when speaking about the Lord. Michelle is preceded in death by her daughter, Kelly, and her mother and father Tessa and Gerald Clark. She is survived by her husband, Todd Meiser of 39 years, her sisters Karen Douglas and Tessa Chang, two sons David Eckert and Dustin Saffe, a daughter Krista Bentley, and a grandson she raised, Cameron Stafford. Michelle also leaves behind seven additional grandchildren.
The Lord unexpectedly called Michelle home on the evening of September 16, 2025. On that evening, the world lost a beacon of light and Heaven gained a soldier. Michelle will be dearly missed and forever loved and remembered for all the lives she touched.
