Michelle Lynn CROW

1960 - 2018

Age 57, of Stillwater, MN, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on May 22, 2018. Born on November 25, 1960, Michelle was a wonderful free spirit with an infectious laugh that brightened any day. She truly enjoyed life to the fullest through simple pleasures, cherishing time with family and friends and was a remarkable bargain hunter with an eye for beautiful treasures. She loved fun in the sun, the ocean and traveling the world, forever a desire to try something new. A 40-year veteran of Northwest and Delta Airlines, Michelle was an outstanding employee committed to leadership, community building and customer service, earning the respect and appreciation of her colleagues and served as an inspiration and role model to others. Recognized by her peers, she was honored as a top employee. Michelle was also a member of the "Alice Club" which no doubt made for some wonderful friendships and memories. A significant part of her life, the airlines and the people she worked with were a second family. Through her kind, generous and loving nature and the way she treated others, Michelle didn't just say I love you, she lived I love you. She had faith and an open heart to Jesus Christ, our Savior. She is now beautiful and free. Michelle was a devoted wife of 36 years to her beloved husband Dudley, loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt, grandmother, friend and neighbor. She will also be dearly missed by sons Michael (Kate), Joseph (Shannon), Jeffrey (Kathryn) and daughter Tara Lunsford (Nathan); parents Gary and Diane Erichson; sister Mari Kelly (Patrick) and brothers Todd Bentler (Michele) and Mark Erichson (Angela); grandchildren Lucy, Erin, Chris and Brenden; many nieces and nephews.
