Preceded in death by her mother Roberta Pugsley, Dad Edger Pugsley, Father Mike Pulk and Aunt Mary Warn.

Numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. Michelle was remarkably close to her two nieces Candice Delaney and Teresa Hurley, and special friend Heidi Vanhook.

In life she was a very hard-working person who was not afraid to tell what was on her mind but loved just as hard. She would help people even at the expense of herself. Michele spent most of her life as a single mother. She worked in management and many hours to provide for her family. Yet still found time to help others including taking in family in need.

She loved the holidays and hosting them at her home. Thanksgiving was the big one for having as many friends and family over as she could. Michele had many social media friends all around the world due to her content creation. She was a very spiritual woman who used her gifts to help others. Whenever possible, Michele cherished time with friends and family.

Michele fought illness for many years. She was fighting hard to better herself and get healthy. She was getting increasingly mobile. Unfortunately, her heart and lungs could not keep up.
