Gates and Frances P. Gates. She moved to Colorado with her family in 1980. Michelle was a warm and generous person, a steady and loyal friend, and a loving and beloved mother and wife. She spent her career working in insurance, and her favorite place to vacation was Steamboat, Colorado. In February of 2020, Michelle was diagnosed with breast cancer, and by May 2021 it had become Stage 4. Over the next 15 months she was the epitome of grace under pressure and holding up under impossible odds.

Michelle is survived by her husband Scott, and their two children Noah and Grace, all in Parker; her mother Frances; her sisters Dawn and Barbara, and brothers Christopher and Matthew.
