Michele Woelker, beloved mother of Kyle (Elise) Woelker, Kirsten Woelker and Kendra (Joe) Scanio; adoring grandmother of Arthur Woelker; dear sister of Kathy (Ken) Belding, Bryan Burquin and the late John and Danny Burquin. A loving aunt, great-aunt, cousin and friend to many.
Those who knew Michele knew her life was centered around family, home, and creating spaces filled with love. Michele had a remarkable gift for making any space feel like home. Her talent for home décor and eye for detail turned her house into a warm, welcoming haven filled with love, laughter, and comfort.
A creative spirit at heart, Michele loved crafts, cooking, and creating moments that brought people together. Her famous recipes were the center of countless family gatherings, and her thoughtful touches made every holiday and birthday unforgettable. She had a beautiful way of ensuring everyone felt cared for, included, and special; a reflection of her generous heart and selfless nature.
Michele lit up every room she entered with her bright smile and infectious energy. She radiated kindness, showed love to everyone she met, and always put others before herself. Above all, she loved her family fiercely and found her greatest joy in being a mom and, most especially, a grandma. Though her time as a grandmother was far too short, the love she poured into that role will be cherished forever.
Her happy place was the beach, where she could simply be present and soak in the beauty of the moment. If given the chance to travel anywhere, she would choose Gulf Shores, surrounded by her kids, the sound of the waves, and the sun on her face. Michele lived life to the fullest, finding joy in everyday moments and spreading that joy to everyone fortunate enough to know her.
Michele will be remembered for her warmth, her laughter, her unwavering love, and her ability to make life’s simplest moments feel extraordinary. She will be deeply and forever missed by all who knew and loved her.

This describes the Michele I knew to a tee! What a sweetheart. We all loved her at Edward Jones. I can hear her laughing now. When I get to heaven I’m going to give her a huge hug. Indeed, her family was foremost in her heart and I never received a text from her that wasn’t accompanied by a picture of her grandson. Rest in peace, dear Michele!! We love you.
