Michele Ann Green
Michele Ann Green, age 56, passed away peacefully on May 20, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family and friends. Born on February 1, 1970, Michele lived a life centered around kindness, strength, laughter, and unconditional love for those around her.
Michele was the kind of person who could brighten any room with her smile and make everyone feel instantly welcome. She was always filled with joy and had a special way of finding happiness in even the simplest moments. She had a caring heart, a warm spirit, and a way of always putting others before herself. Whether through a comforting conversation, her uplifting presence, or simply being there when someone needed her, Michele touched countless lives and created memories that will be cherished forever.
She loved deeply and was deeply loved in return. Her greatest joy came from spending time with her family and friends, making memories, and supporting the people she cared about most.
Michele is now reunited in Heaven with her beloved parents, Rupert and Marilyn Weindl.
She leaves behind her loving husband, David Green; her daughter, Taylor Green; her son, Travis Green, and his wife, Lauryn Green; and her cherished grandchildren, Briley and Clayton, who brought so much joy to her life. She is also survived by her brother, Michael Weindl, along with many extended family members and dear friends who will forever hold her memory close to their hearts.
A visitation/social gathering will be held June 6th at 9:00 a.m. followed by a funeral service at 11:00 a.m. at Cole Methodist Church in Brockway, officiated by Pastor Julie Cramer. The family welcomes all who knew and loved Michele to come celebrate her life and honor the beautiful person she was.
