Michelle worked as a bartender at several local bars and had many friends including her “Jocko’s peeps” whom fondly knew her as Gwen. She will be remembered as a loving daughter, mother, sister, auntie, wife and friend who loved fishing, camping on the river, going for “crazy rides” in her Jeep and backyard bonfires. Michelle was a free spirit with a big smile, an infectious laugh and had a mouth and wasn’t shy about using it. Michelle loved life and was taken too soon. She will be missed by all who knew her.
