On Monday, April 15th a very special lady earned her wings after her courageous fight with Brain cancer. Michelle (Shell) Block was born January 15, 1981 in Marshfield, WI to Rick and Karen Block.
She attended Stetsonville & Medford schools graduating in 2000.Michelle worked for G&D Enterprizes, Memorial Hospital, Marathon Cheese, Deerview Meadows, the Hedlund agency, and caring for a special set of twins. Michelle's true calling was working in the medical field. She went back to school and became a Medical Assistant and worked at a clinic in Rib Mountain, where she was loved by her co-workers and patients.
Her cancer forced her to leave this job.Michelle loved going to dirt track races, watching Nascar races, walking, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. With her beautiful smile and friendly nature Michelle made a new friend wherever she went.
Michelle leaves behind her parents, two brothers Clayton of Spencer, and Mitchel of Babcock, a sister Courtney (Ethan Kramas) Withee, and many very special friends, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Michelle was greeted at heavens door by her baby brother Josh, her grandparents Art and Isabelle Haas, and Clarence & Ione Block, and her uncles Warren Block and Art Haas Jr.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 AM, Saturday, April 27th at the First Baptist Church, Medford.
To honor Michelle the family asks that you wear bright colors or red, white and blue - two of Michelle's favorite things.
In lieu of flowers memorials can be made to Hope Hospice or Taylor County Walking for a Cure.
A special thanks to Hope Hospice who made it possible to keep Michelle home where she was surrounded by family and friends.
