Michelle Lynn Arnold, 48, Black Creek, passed away Sunday, October 18, 2020, with her loving family at her side at ThedaCare Regional Medical Center in Appleton. She was born November 25, 1971, the daughter of LeRoy and Karen (Woehler) Arnold.
Michelle attended Highlands Elementary School, Einstein Middle School, and Appleton West High School, where she graduated in 1990. She often referred to these times as "The Good Ole Days."
Michelle was a ray of sunshine to those who encountered her. Whether it was her coworkers or the patients she checked in at ThedaCare (Encircle Health) where she was employed for 20 years, or the many friends, family, and even strangers that crossed Michelle's path during her journey of life, her beaming spirit and smile will be missed by all.
She loved to plant flowers around home. Michelle enjoyed attending concerts with her little brother, Todd, shopping for fireworks with her big brother, Tim, and spending time with family and friends. She will be remembered for her laughter, and telling stories while enjoying a glass of wine. Michelle also loved the many cats and dogs she had over the years, especially Tabbie and Sam.
