Whoever came into contact with Michelle, whether through work or play, knew of her care and love for people and her heart of gold. She was renowned among family and friends as a designer purse aficionado, for her obsession with Starbucks and for anything designed with skulls and crossbones. Michelle was blessed to have a special companion and best friend in her husband Brian. From day one, they knew they were meant for each other. Together, they were avid Denver Broncos fans, enjoyed special times with family, and loved and spoiled their dogs Zoe, Jaxson and Jezzi.
