Michelle "Chelle" Barker, 53, of Taylor, Michigan, went home to be with the Lord on December 31, 2025. Born October 23, 1972, Michelle lived her life in kindness and care for others. She lived with a tenacity of faith that carried her through tough times. Her greatest joy could be found within the four walls of her home, spending time with her devoted husband, Bruce. Michelle saw value in those who didn't see it in themselves and was known for her kind heart. She loved animals and her pets were her babies (Jackson, Smokey, Ozzie, and Milo). Family and togetherness is something she held dear.
She is survived and remembered by her family:
Husband, Bruce Barker II
Son, Dalton Barker
Mother and father, Elizabeth and Ed Justice
Grandson, Dalton Jr
Beloved niece and caregiver, Hailey Schwartz
And many other loved ones whose lives were touched by Michelle's presence.
