Michele Pieraccini Obituary

Michele Lynn Pieraccini passed away peacefully at home on August 11, 2025, surrounded by loved ones, after a courageous 20-month battle with stage 4 breast cancer. She was 59 years old. She left this world the way she lived it, surrounded by people who loved her.
Michele was born on June 29, 1966, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Darryl and Vera Janikowski. She is survived by her mom, Vera; devoted husband, Steve Pieraccini; her beloved daughters, Kaitlyn and Hailey; her son-in-law, Paul Davis; and her cherished grandson, Logan.
Michele lived a vibrant and joyful life, surrounded by friends and family who adored her. Though her time was far too short, she filled every day with warmth, laughter, and adventure. She found joy in travel, connection, and the simple pleasures of everyday life. Even during the most difficult moments of her illness, Michele's positivity and strength never wavered-her spirit remained bright and her heart full of love.
A memorial service to celebrate Michele's life will be held on Sunday, September 21 at 1:00 p.m. at the Friedman Event Center in Santa Rosa, California.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to Michele's memorial fund at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a cause close to her heart.
