Michelle Mendoza Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Castle Ridge Mortuary - North on Oct. 29, 2025.
Michelle Mendoza, born March 14, 1974, in San Antonio, Texas, passed away on October 9, 2025. Michelle was intelligent, funny, and quick-witted - the kind of person who could make you laugh when you least expected it and tell you the truth whether you were ready for it or not. She was strong in spirit, stubborn in the best way, and full of love that showed up in a thousand small, unforgettable ways.
She is survived by her mother, Rebecca her siblings, Brent, Jennifer, and Nichole; and her two greatest joys, her daughter Shelby and son Arthur. Michelle's father, Albert has preceded her in death.
Michelle had a comeback for everything, a heart bigger than her coffee mug, and a way of turning ordinary moments into something worth remembering. She'll be missed every day, but her humor, warmth, and strength will live on in everyone lucky enough to have loved her - and in every good laugh shared in her honor.
At the request of the family, we ask guests to wear black and white in memory of Michelle.
