Michelle passed away on Saturday, February 6, 2016.

She was a member of Southside Baptist Church and was a 2012 graduate of Jacksonville State University. Michelle loved to teach and loved children. She was a middle school educator at Coosa Christian School for 9 years, where she served as the varsity cheerleader sponsor. Michelle loved her church, her family, and watching college football. She enjoyed volunteering anytime that she could at her church. Most of all, Michelle enjoyed being a part of her children’s activities and events and spending time with her family. She fought a long battle with cancer for 5 years. One of her favorite verses was Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
