Michelle Hooper

Michelle Lynn Hooper, 27, went to be with Jesus March 26, 2020.  Michelle was born in Charlotte, NC on November 29, 1992 to Steve and Lisa Hooper.  She grew up in Concord, NC and graduated from Northwest Cabarrus High School in 2011.

Michelle has left us too soon, but will live on through her precious daughter, Audriee, whom she loved and treasured.

Michelle lit up the room with her sheer beauty and fantastic sense of fashion.  Her laugh and smile were contagious.  She had many talents and joys including being a mom, music, cooking, writing, drawing, acting, singing, crafting, traveling, and style.  She looked forward to fulfilling her dreams in the medical field as an ultrasound technician or hygienist.

She wanted most to have a happy, joyous and free life.

Growing up Michelle often played with her sister Katie in a playhouse their Dad built in the backyard.  Flying was a big part of her life as her dad worked for the airlines and took the family on many special trips.  She also loved the numerous family trips to California where many of her extended family lived.  She loved visiting her Aunt and Uncle and staying on their houseboat on the lake.  Her grandparents always had many fun adventures and road trips planned during their trips out west.  The annual "Family Picnic" was always a special time as family members gathered for a fun filled day together.  Michelle especially enjoyed time spent with Audriee and Owen, cousin time.  Most recently Michelle discovered the joys of camping and enjoyed many trips with family. It was more like glamping which is so Michelle.

Michelle was a team member of JDRF's Katie's Cure Crusaders, actively involved in helping to find a cure of Juvenile Diabetes, which affects her sister and so many others.  We would be very grateful if you would like to make a donation in Michelle's honor at www.jdrf.org.

Those who cherish Michelle in memory include her daughter, Audriee Avery; Audriee's daddy, Buddy Avery; parents, Steve Hooper (Marcela), Lisa Hooper; sister Katie (Zach) Troutman; nephew Owen; grandparents, Chandler and Sheri Eason; uncles and aunts, David and Margot Fishman, Johnny and Susan Wade, Mary Alexis Hooper, Sam Hooper, Jimmy and Evelyn Hooper and many extended family and friends.

Those who have passed before her are grandparents, Larry Ellingsen, Simeon Wirt, and Mary Ann Hooper; uncle Scott Hooper; and friend, Patrick McArdle.

Michelle was greatly loved by so many and will forever be missed.

The family will have a memorial service for Michelle at a later date.

"Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.  He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart"
