She was united in marriage to Mr. Anthony “Tony” Jewell on April 19,2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Michelle had resided in Harrison since 1994.

               Michelle lived with a spirit that was impossible to overlook. Adventurous, compassionate, and full of love. She filled her life and the lives of those around her, with warmth, joy, and belonging. She fully embraced life, and those who shared it with her. Adventure was woven into who she was. She was always ready to explore, experience, and make lasting memories with her friends and family. Always planning her next big adventure. She will be remembered not for the difficulties she faced, but rather for her bravery, resilience, and drive she had to live. She lived boldly, beautifully, and with a heart that made the world a brighter, better place. Her absence leaves an immeasurable space – the love she gave, the lives she touched, and the memories she created will remain lasting and cherished gifts.
