LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Loving mother, wife and forever filled with wonderment; Michelle Beers’ love of life did not come to an end with her death.

Michelle passed April 4, 2024, at the age of 53 after a courageous battle with cancer, with her husband Bill Beers and dearest friend Karen Fassler by her side.

The simple pleasures in life brought the greatest joy to Michelle. She loved the breeze casting off the ocean, was enamored by tree frogs, loved her German shepherds Bear and Jack with her entire heart, and even found a fondness for skydiving just months before her passing.

She was an avid night sky observer, making sure to catch each and every meteor shower while encouraging her children to find the beauty in astronomy as they gazed by her side.

Her curiosity didn’t extend to the skies alone, as her favorite pastime was exploring the hillsides for Lake County diamonds after the sun would reawaken behind passing rain storms.

Michelle had an uncanny way of keeping her childlike wonder and contagious humor even in the harshest of life’s moments. She loved smiley faces which was simply befitting as she would always seek any reason to smile, even in the darkest of times.

Her love of the natural world and inherent curiosity live on within her three children, Chelsea, Cody and Cory, and she is survived by her husband and loving mother Beverly Pavlischek.

Though the world is left dimmer in her passing, her light shall continue to shine on.
