Michelle Gabrielle Finkle Reuven

Michelle Gabrielle Reuven, age 55, decided to answer a call to leave this earthly realm Thursday, June 25, 2015. Gratefully she was able to answer this call at her sister's home surrounded by loved ones most importantly her son. She had courageously confronted and fought a difficult battle and is now at peace. She was born December 1, 1959 in Long Beach California to Samuel "Max" and Monique (Cabanel) Finkle. She had earned her Pharmacy Technician Certificate but really was better known for her entrepreneurial spirit and constant stream of business ideas culminating in her patented Hair Therapy Wrap and other products in the Health and Beauty sector.

She loved her life and her family and had a special kindness within her that touched all those she met and loved which will be with them forever. She loved nature and spent a great deal of time hiking the trails by the ocean in Laguna and in Cleveland National Forest. She was always more concerned with giving than receiving, wanting to help others in whatever way she could and those who know her are forever better off because of it and far to many to name here. She was so very proud of her son and the wonderful man he has become, a true eternal gift to us all. She will always be the better angel in our hearts.

She is survived by her son Doron Moshe Reuven of Berkeley; Sisters Danielle Roberts and husband Stephen of Laguna Niguel, Shirley Chew of Cave Creek; brother Louis Finkle of Lakewood; Nieces Diana Boyle, Faith Kube of Cave Creek, Aleecia Matkovich of Phoenix, Ivy McMullen of Morgantown; Nephews Christopher Boyle of Huntington Beach, David Wayne of Long Beach; Her son's father Eli Reuven. She was preceded on this journey by her father, Samuel "Max" Finkle, and mother Monique Cabanel; sister Roxanne Finkle.

She has moved on to the next day of eternal life and will forever love us as much as we will forever love her.
