Michelle was very outgoing. She loved camping, four-wheeling, dancing, and dirt road riding. She had a love for dogs and cats, but "especially cats" Daniel says. Michelle loved spending time with family. She never missed a family gathering and she was especially involved with all her daughter Danielle's school trips. Danielle's friends referred to Michelle as "the cool mom". Her husband Daniel said he used to call her "Michelle's Taxi" She was always willing to help someone in need and never asked for anything in return. "She was a great cook" Daniel spoke of Michelle's love of cooking. He said she just picked it up, taught herself and even won some cooking awards during her time spent working for Sugarloaf as a chef. He spoke highly of her "stuffed shells' "so good, even the Italians cleaned out the pan." Michelle will be very missed by those that know her.
