Marianne Michaels Obituary

Marianne Maccioli Michaels - July 6, 1942 - January 11, 2022 Pittsboro, North Carolina - Marianne was the daughter of the late John and Virginia Maccioli of Norfolk, VA. She was a Norfolk Catholic School girl, attended Old Dominion University and William and Mary for her Masters Degree, then taught art and gifted programs in the Virginia Beach middle school system for 30 years. Marianne was the loving wife and best friend of Al Michaels for 48 years. With that joy, they shared 3 children, David and Michael Hood and Audra Aubin, and 6 grandchildren, Philip, Charlotte, Sophie, Joey, Olivia and Ashley. Many warm memories are shared with friends in Virginia Beach, Massachusetts, North Carolina and beyond. All those who surrounded Marianne were blessed by her passions of art, travel, dance, fashion and decor. We are all better for having had the fortune to learn from and be loved by our mother, wife, grandmother, and good friend.

I have been looking for Mrs. Michaels for a long time. She was one of my art teachers in Virginia Beach at Lynnhaven Jr High in the late 70's. A true treasure who taught me much. A golden heart. Thank you for showing us how we could change the world with colors, Mrs. Michaels.

I'm so sad to hear the passing of Marianne. I first met her when I student taught at Thalia Elementary back in 1976. We crossed paths many times during her career. My prayers and thoughts go out to the family and friends.
