Michelle was a Houston Astros fan, a die-hard Harrison Ford and Star Wars fanatic, she even owned a life-size Han Solo cutout. She pursued many hobbies, some of which included reading, making jewelry and sewing.

She also adored all animals, especially her own and would often take in strays from the streets to nurture and love.

Michelle was a very social and outgoing woman. She was loud, spontaneous and goofy with a laugh and smile that was infectious. It was hard not to be captivated by her personality. Michelle was a loving daughter, fiancé, sister, and friend to many who will be missed beyond measure.
