Mr. Lindsay, Martha & Ariane, 

Everyone at work was saddened to hear that Michelle had passed away. She was a very special person who was always bright and cheery no matter what life had in store for her on any given day. I consider myself fortunate for the time I knew her because she was a kind soul that went the extra distance to see how you were doing & concerned when things might not be going well.  She will be forever missed.

All the best to the entire family. 💐

I had the pleasure of getting to know Michelle years ago when I worked at CS First Boston.  We both were part of a very special group of friends who socialized regularly. 
At the time Michelle was a very successful executive at the Wall Street Journal yet she never exhibited bravado, only a keen intellect with a talent for inclusion and understanding of the value of interpersonal communication and building relationships.
I always admired Michelle for her grounded confidence and ability to seamlessly relate to anyone regardless of profession, status, or consequence.  Full of generosity, Michelle always had a smile, warm greeting, and kind word.
Her memory will always stay with me.
With my deepest sympathies,
Jane Zennario


Michele was charitable with her entire heart and soul.  Her generosity and kindness to the Southampton Rose Society, was truly great.  She served as a Board member for the past several years and her contribution of time and energy is deeply appreciated.

Michele always had gentle kindness, optimism and a natural calm about her.  We thank her for her contribution to our small charitable organization.  She will be remembered and missed by all at the SRS.

With deepest condolences,
Jim Berkrot, President, Southampton Rose Society

I first met Michele in the halls of Antioch Junior High in Kansas City fifty years ago. Even then she was a classy, charming, fashionable, kind, generous and admired personality and the passage of time only served to amplify those traits. Her successes ranged from beauty pageants to student government to academics and lead to an astonishingly successful career with the WSJ and second career serving charitable causes. Throughout her life and accompanying successes she never changed from the optimistic, charming, funny, modest, self-effacing, and effervescent person she has always been. Never smug, condescending, snobby, or superior—she put everyone at ease with her graciousness and kindness. Many high school classmates who have not seen her in decades have commented on how they remember her consideration and sweetness. We’ve lost a special person and one of the brightest lights in our lives.



Dearest Scott, 
Big hugs from Across the Atlantic  from Carlos and myself. . Without you and Michele we would not be married 25 years already. Lovely times with great champagne for your August birthdays and young Ariane getting older.  We will see you in December to give you an in person hug.

💔💔💔 It was my great honor and pleasure to work for 15 years with Michele Evenson, a beloved Wall Street Journal colleague on adventures around the world.

A wonderfully gifted, radiant and magnetic woman, a terrific business leader and a deeply loyal friend, Michele was the spiritual and cultural leader of Dow Jones International Sales & Marketing (DJIMS) throughout the 1990’s during a time of rapid growth and geographic expansion. Michele embodied the DJIMS spirit of international adventure, multiculturalism, unconditional support of her friends and colleagues, high performance, and great fun. She was the modal force behind the business success of The Wall Street Journal Americas, the Journal’s Latin American edition￼ to which she was appointed Publisher in the late 1990’s, the first woman to hold that title at any Journal edition. ￼ 

Michele had an unerring eye for publishing sales talent, was an intuitive and shrewd judge of character and was equally at ease with secretaries, media buyers, and heads of state. Among my fondest memories is the 1998 Wall Street Journal Conference of the Americas which she led including President Bill Clinton, Peruvian president Fujimori, and a half dozen Latin American finance ministers in attendance. 

Michele was the brightest, most charming, most lovely and effective global media executives I have ever had the pleasure to know. She was and remains absolutely adored by all of us with whom she worked in the US, Europe, Asia, and of course her beloved Mexico and Latin America.

❤️❤️❤️ Michele Evenson.


I attended High School and college at MU with Michele. She was also in my sorority at MU, Kappa Alpha Theta. Although we did not keep in touch over the years, I marveled at the way she moved straight to New York at such a young age! I always bragged about her to my friends over the years.  I did see her at a sorority reunion one time and I asked her, in amazement, "what is it like living in New York?", and she replied so nonchalantly , "if you have a credit card, you can do anything." She was beautiful inside and out, everyone loved her. She would have been one of the girls everyone was jealous of, if you did not love her so much! She had the poise and confidence of a much older woman even in her teens. I would have given anything to have been able to see her and visit with her, even one more time. She is in my thoughts daily, my sincere wishes to her family for healing. I know she made a difference in each life she touched.

Michele was vibrant, kind, beautiful and one of the most thoughtful and generous people we had ever known. We will always remember Michele for her elegance and her beautiful soul. Her presence will be with us forever.

With all our love,

Melanie, John , George and John Jr.

Dear Scott and Ariane

Michele was the most beautiful person with such a kind heart. She will be missed by so many. My thoughts are with you at this very very sad time. I have many fond memories of her from our time at Young England Kindergarten and the lunches hosted by Michele since. 

Sending lots of love, Miss Stephanie x
