Obituary
Michelle Marie Carlton
Michelle Marie Carlton was just 20 years old when she passed away from a brain condition. She was full of life, gentleness and kindness. She is survived by her father and stepmother, John and Sherrie Carlton; her mother and other mother, Denise Carmichael- Carlton and Heidi Carslay; sister Stephanie Carlton; her grandmothers, Yvonne, Barbara and Barb; and too many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends to list here. The unconditional love Michelle taught us all will continue to shape our lives. Because something good must come from this, and because Michelle was the kind of kid who gave away her lunch money to homeless people because they didn’t have food or a home and she had both, Michelle’s last act of charity will be to provide others with whatever organs and tissues can be used. Michelle’s memorial service will be Wednesday, September 10th at 3 pm at Bonney-Watson Funeral Home in Federal Way. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in Michelle’s memory to Multicare Health Foundation, P.O. Box 5296, MS: L1-FD, Tacoma, WA 98415-0296.
A very passionate, loving person who always stood for what she believed in and the people around her. She will be missed.
Denise, Heidi & family. I express my sympathies. She’s in a better place & doesn’t have to suffer anymore. She’ll forever be in your memories and in your hearts. Giving as she did she touched many lives. She was a great soul.
My sweet Michelle- I can’t believe this is real. You and I have so many memories together, so many GREAT memories. 11 years full of them. You were my sister and my very best friend. You were such gift to have in this life, if it wasn’t for you–I wouldn’t be me! My hero. You know that you took some of my heart when you left, but I get closure knowing I have some of your heart too. I will always love and miss you sis, and I’ll see you again someday.
