Michelle held many things close to her heart such as family, friends, and the memories she made while spending time with them. She was a beloved daughter to Dr. John and Helen Colomb Cooper. She was not only a sister, but a trusted best friend to her siblings who knew they could always count on her. She was the ultimate sisterinlaw and her nieces and nephews will always have a special place in their heart for their Aunt Shelly. Michelle never met a stranger to know her was to like her. She could always make a long story great, but was willing and able to listen to those who needed advice and guidance. Anyone could go to Michelle if they needed a voice of reason. She had a selfless heart that would give anything she could for another. She was passionate about many things in her life and she never seemed to stop moving.
