It is with profound respect and admiration that we remember the life of Michelle LeAnne Curtis, known to us as Michelle Curtis. Born on April 14, 1970 in Olympia, Washington, Michelle graced our lives with intelligence, courage, and unwavering love until her passing on November 7, 2025. Michelle was a beacon of strength and resilience, a woman shaped by the challenges life presented her, yet never defined by them. She was smart, navigating through life's twists and turns with a keen sense of perspective and wisdom. Her courage was evident in the way she faced adversity, always with a determined spirit and an unwavering faith in better days. Indeed, Helen Keller's words ring true when thinking of Michelle; "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved." Michelle's world revolved around her family, especially her cherished grandchildren. To Christine Shelton, her daughter, Jerrod Curtis, her son, and her loving partner, Kevin Clothier, she was more than a mother and partner; she was their rock, their guiding light. Michelle also leaves behind her brothers, Kevin and David Curtis, who will remember her fondly. She was preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Maryann Curtis, who no doubt welcomed their brave daughter with open arms. Michelle's life was a testament to the power of love over adversity, of courage in the face of challenges. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her and love her. We invite you to celebrate Michelle's life by sharing your memories, stories, and photos on her memorial page. In doing so, we keep the spirit of our beloved Michelle alive, reminding us all of the remarkable woman she was.
