Michelle Marie Strickland, 55, of Madison, passed away Saturday October 18, 2025 after a short illness. She left this world with the ones closest to her right by her side.
Michelle was born on January 17, 1970, to Radford and Myrtle Widner in Birmingham, AL. Michelle resided in Georgia most of her adult life before she moved to Tennessee.
She was a wonderful sister, friend, colleague, and never met a stranger. Even though she was sometimes irkin' and asked all the questions, she always had the best intentions, laughed hard, and loved even harder. She was not afraid to tell you how it was and was honest to the core.
Michelle was five years clean which is a major milestone in recovery. Michelle loved the Lord, her cat Luna, Dr Pepper, Reeses, her tv shows, shopping, her recovery community, and was always ready for new adventures and to visit new places.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, October 25th, at Phillips-Robinson Funeral Home, 2707 Gallatin Pike, Nashville, TN 37216, from 2 PM until her Celebration of Life at 3 PM.
In lieu of flowers, please donate in Michelle's memory to Recovery Community Inc. at [email protected].
