Life story

Michele was a vibrant, loving soul who dedicated her life to her family and friends. Born and raised in St. Charles, IL, she was the youngest of five sisters. From a young age, she had a passion for dancing and became known for her incredible talent. She loved singing, playing board and card games, and never missed a chance to enjoy a good round of bingo. After raising her five children—Janet, Christine, Steven, Katherine, and Anna—in St. Charles, she later moved to Arizona and reunited with her first love, Gerald, whom she remarried before settling in Arkansas. An active member of the Corvette Club and Red Hat Society, she embraced life to the fullest. She leaves behind a legacy of love, including 10 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren, whose lives she touched deeply.
