Michelle graduated from Klamath Union High School in 1973 and attended business school in Portland, Oregon. She earned her associate degree from Columbia Basin Community College and her bachelor's degree from Columbia Southern University in 2016.
Michelle was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Michelle knitted baby blankets for each of her 21 grandchildren and additional Afghans as high school graduation gifts. She arranged for others to complete the remaining Afghans when she could no longer knit.
Michelle retired in August 2020 so she could spend her remaining time with her family after her condition worsened.
Michelle is survived by a brother, two sisters, her husband, three children, five step-children, twenty-one grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and in-laws.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to ALS Northwest at https://tinyurl.com/alsnwdonate.
