Michele enjoyed gardening, cooking and loved to travel. Michele and John enjoyed over 20 cruises all over the world. She loved trips to Lake Tahoe, Reno and her summer home in Pollock Pines. She was also an active planner of her high school reunions. 

Michele was a kind, thoughtful and caring person. She loved to make people laugh and she always made everything fun. Michele had an overabundance of friends from all over the country and was popular with her friends. She could make friends anywhere she went. Michele had a great memory and could recall events from years gone by which the rest of us had long forgotten. She was a beloved mom, aunt, sister and friend and will be profoundly missed.
