Michele Pieraccini Obituary
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.

I´ll always remember Michele as a truly warm and kind-hearted soul. Every afternoon during kindergarten pickup, she would stop by to greet my daughter in her stroller with the sweetest smile and gentle warmth. It was such a simple gesture, but it spoke volumes about the kindness she carried in her heart. Her presence was a gift, and her memory will always bring a smile.
My deepest condolences to the entire family. May you find comfort in the love she shared and the joy she brought to so many.

Michelle had such a big heart and a warm smile. She was a bright light and lived life to the fullest. I will always remember our Friday night Bunco gatherings as a highlight. My condolences to her family, husband Steve, and two beautiful daughters. God bless Michelle and her family.
