Anne Hayes Michel

Cumberland – Anne H. Michel, 54, of Cumberland died unexpectedly Thursday October 4, 2012 at her home. She was born in Portland on February 21, 1958 one of three daughters of Roger and Eva (Cluff) Hayes. She was educated in Cumberland schools and graduated from Greely High School, Class of 1976.

Anne had the good fortune to be a stay-at-home mom for her children. She volunteered with the Girl Scouts and was known as the “Cookie Mom” during the annual Girl Scouts cookie drive. In more quiet times, Anne enjoyed making jewelry with beads and many pieces were given as gifts from Anne’s Hands. She also had a talent for calligraphy and was known for her personalized birthday and anniversary cards.

Anne will be remembered for her perseverance, generosity, loving and caring nature that was open to others, not just family and friends. She also loved cats. Her love of family was only outdone by her love of the Lord with whom she rests in His peace.

Anne is survived by her husband of 30 years, Roland Michel of Cumberland; her daughter Allyssa Michel of Cumberland; her son Adam Michel of Cumberland; her parents Roger and Eva Hayes of Cumberland; her sister Sharon Tardiff and her husband Jeffrey of Freeport; her sister Deborah Hayes of Cumberland; her niece Jessica Tardiff of Freeport; her stepson Phillip Michel and his wife Mary “Angel” and their children: Jerry, Zachary and Faith of North Carolina.
