Michelle Leigh Jullette - Thomas, age 46, passed away on Monday, November 14, 2022, in her home in Warren, Michigan, where she had resided since 2014.
Michelle is survived by her beloved children, Austin, Kaylee, and Gabe Murray. She was preceded in death by her son, Patrick Murray, who passed September 23, 2022. She is also survived by her parents, John (Ila Gallagher-Brown) Jullette and Debra Jullette. Sister to John Jr (Kathy), Daniel (Stephani), and Jeremy Jullette. Shelly also has numerous Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Nieces, Nephews, and friends she made along the way who she held dearly to her heart.
She loved to spend time outdoors, especially if it was near a body of water. She loved the ocean and the beach and always enjoyed the sound of waves crashing on the shore. She loved to travel, enjoyed her time in Florida, the Carolinas, Hawaii, and California. One of Shelly's favorite memories was a vacation she planned in 2021 to Upstate New York to visit Patrick. It was the first family vacation she had with all of her kids present in years. They hiked, sat by the lake, went swimming, played dominoes and euchre, talked, laughed and cherished that time with one another. 'Shelly' had passion and love for resin, so much so she was dedicated to creating her own business. She had many projects planned and was excited to pursue that dream.
Michelle graduated from Baker College with a Bachelors Degree in Accountancy in 2011.
She most recently worked part-time for LeapForce and RaterLabs at home. She made many friends who she held dearly and enjoyed what she did. She had a work family through those experiences.
Michelle's legacy is her four children who she loved and cherished above anything else. She was a wonderful mother, who would do anything for them. Not only were they her children, they were also her best friends and she was theirs. They are grateful that she is no longer in pain and has been reunited with her beloved son, Patrick.
Michelle, 'Shelly;, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend who will always be greatly loved. She will never be forgotten.
In lieu of flowers, the family would greatly appreciate donations.
