Michel Frontain Obituary

Heaven has a new Angel. Our beloved sister, Michel Frontain, having 'Fought the Good Fight', went into the arms of Jesus, 2 days after her birthday. Michel is preceded in death by: husband Amadeo Sanchez, parents Richard "Dick" & Mona Myrle King Frontain, and brother Richard. She is survived by sisters Felicia Frontain (Richard Wood) and Maria Frontain (Lorenia Bernal), and brother-in-law/sister-in-law Cenobio & Phoebe Sanchez. Michel lived life HER way and faced death, HER way.  Until the very end she shared her beautiful smile, gratitude to her family and friends, and made each one of us feel better by her few words or squeeze of our hands.  Michel spent her life watching out for us all...family, friends, acquaintances and even strangers.  Her generosity had no limit.  Working for more than 30 years in the sale of agricultural supplies specializing in sales to Mexico, she amassed countless friends in the process.  In just a few minutes Michel would get to know the person remember small details, and make that person feel special.  Over the years she endeared herself to many becoming not just business associate, but friend or even "family" as well.  Michel's lifelong friends stayed devoted to the end, and "THANK YOU!!" cannot begin to express our love for each of them. They describe Michel as: compassionate, faithful, generous, devoted, people person, friend forever, loving, fabulous cook... Michel loved painting watercolors, vacationing with Lorenia and Maria, listening to/singing all kinds of music, spending time with dear friend Isaias Gonzalez, and running her small landscaping company. Most of all, she liked spending time with family and friends over a delicious dinner she prepared or out at restaurants.  Michel will always be a part of who we are and loved dearly.  "Michel, Love You More!", 'Flish-Flosh' and 'Pal'                         Arrangements: Evergreen Mortuary                Celebration of Life: 11/5/2022 Noon-4:00;             Church Service/Time of Sharing 12:30 (outdoors)           Cornerstone Fellowship Church    2902 N. Geronimo In lieu of flowers give to someone in need. Just like Michel would.

Celeste and I are so saddened by the loss of your dear sister, Michel. Our hearts go out to you, her family and friends. We will all miss her smile, her laugh, and her genuine kindness. I´ve known Michel and the Frontain family for nearly 50 years and I will always carry the memory of her in her St. Pete´s uniform swinging a softball bat. Michel could hit! She was a great kid who grew into a warm, caring person. I am blessed to have known her. Michel will be greatly missed and remembered always.

Dear Felicia, Maria and families,
Bruce and I were shocked and deeply saddened when we saw Michel´s obituary in the Star. Just can´t get our minds around this tragedy. We were lucky enough to run into you Felicia and Michel at Blue Willow some years ago, and we just expect friends to continue with us on this earth...please know we hold your family dear in our memories and speak of your Father often, and the lovely Christmas parties your parents invited us too all those years ago.
With much love,
Aurelia and Bruce
