Michelle Marie Pendleton

Michelle was Born in Okinawa, Japan, to Bill and Ann Pendleton on October 20, 1974.

Michelle is survived by her loving Daughter, Addison Cooper, Mother, Ann Johnson and Brothers, Bill Pendleton and Rob Pendleton. She is also survived by numerous extended family members along the East Coast, all of whom will miss her deeply.

Michelle served with pride in the United States Navy, where she achieved the rank of Petty Officer 3rd Class Corpsman while serving aboard the USS Shasta. Her commitment to service was a reflection of her caring and selfless nature, traits that carried into every aspect of her life.

A single mother, Michelle poured her love and energy into raising her daughter, Addison. She was an adventurous spirit, with a deep love for travel. Throughout her life, she especially enjoyed trips to Hawaii, Disneyland, and Caribbean cruises. These experiences were a source of joy for her, and she treasured the memories of these adventures.

Michelle also had a profound love for animals, with her dog, Daisey, holding a special place in her heart. A kind soul, she always found ways to bring happiness to those around her, whether through her gentle nature or her growing passion for baking. In recent years, Michelle discovered the art of baking, perfecting the craft of making and nurturing her own yeast—an example of her perseverance and curiosity.

Her passing leaves a hole in the hearts of all who knew her, but the legacy of love, dedication, and warmth she leaves behind will forever remain. Michelle’s memory will live on in the hearts of her daughter, family, and friends. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to animal shelters in her memory, honoring her love for animals.
