Michelle was a mother and aunt to many; a fun-loving woman who touched the lives of many people.  She loved to attend Alma High School, St. Louis High School and Alma College sporting events and never missed an opportunity to support her family and friends.  She was very involved in the lives of her family and friends.  She adored her dogs.  She enjoyed party planning, crafting, rapping/singing, mud bogging, and time on the water, anything with her friends and family.  Most of all, Michelle lived to make people laugh and prank friends for personal pleasure!  She changed the lives of everyone she met and was blessed to have time with her grandson who was her pride and joy.

Michelle was blessed with many friends and family.  There are many who are left to carry on her memory.  She is survived by her mother Ellen Fleming, husband Chad, children: Caitlyn Tryon, Sierra Wrisley, and Alyiah Tryon; special niece and nephew: Brea Bethka, and Korey Bell; and grandson Braxton Rooks.  She was preceded in death by her father Dick Bearden, and biological father Phil Fleming.
