In Loving Memory of Michelle Lee Summers
Michelle Lee Summers, born on February 1, 1970, in Torrance, California, to Dorothy Ogburn and David Benoit, passed away peacefully on April 26, 2025, in Altamonte Springs, Florida, surrounded by her loved ones.
Michelle was an extraordinary woman - beautiful, selfless, and full of grace. She was a true angel on earth, radiating warmth, kindness, and an infectious energy that lit up every room she entered. Her presence was a source of comfort and joy not only to her family and friends but also to anyone fortunate enough to cross her path.
She was the shoulder to cry on, the ear that would listen, and the arms that embraced with unconditional love.
Professionally, Michelle found joy and purpose in her role as an account manager at Pelican Sales. Outside of work, she was passionate about planning and going on cruises - a hobby she embraced with enthusiasm. But her greatest joy came from the time she spent with her beloved daughters and grandchildren.
Michelle is survived by her daughters, Angelina Olivo and Sidney Howard; her cherished grandchildren, Charlotte, Tommie Lee, and a grandson expected in October; her mother, Dorothy; her brothers, Allan, Mark, and Jerry; and her cousins, Mike and Jeanie Favreau.
She is now reunited in heaven with her daughter, Shelby Summers, who passed on December 23, 2022.
Michelle's legacy of love, compassion, and strength will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
"I hope you Dance! " ~ Lee Ann Womack
