Michele Small Obituary
November 13, 1958 - December 19, 2019
Newburgh, NY
Michele Small, 61, passed away on Thursday, December 19, 2019. Michele was married for 28 years to Peter Small, who survives at home. She was a parishioner of New Harvest Church, Trinity United Methodist Church, and Street Rock Ministries.
Michele was the most caring, sweet, selfless and gentle person to walk the earth. Her gentle voice could warm any heart. She may have been small in stature but she was mighty in her faith in the Lord.
In addition to her husband Peter, she is survived by her children, Joseph Small of Newburgh and Maria Small of Rochester; her niece Robyn Madden; brother-in-law Thomas Small; and numerous friends and family. She was predeceased by her grandmother, Anne "G.G." Paoli. Michele touched the lives of everyone she met. Our hearts are filled with her endless love, and our minds are at peace knowing her spirit is with the Lord, singing, dancing, and cooking for our family in heaven.

Hello my dear and beautiful friend in 2 more days it will be 5 years you been gone. Michele it still saddens me that your not here on this earth , and all the memories and fun things we done all three the years. it. Gives me peace knowing you are with the lord dancing away and being so happy. I could never forget you. You will always stay in my heart along with my family and friends that passed.

Michele I have been one of your close friends since high school. You were like a sister to me , I will always treasures all the fun times and laughs we had, and how you would call up on any kind of storm to tell me to stock up and be blessed, I miss hearing your voice already and the calls where we would chat for awhile. I dont know how to say goodbye to you my dear friend, but with the lord he will see me through this. I know your at peace because this is where you always wanted to be is with jesus and dance away. I am so blessed to have known Gods perfect angel, and I know you will be watching over all of us. Your family I pray they find peace and comfort in the lord, and know you are truly at peace. Until we meet again I love you my friend
