Obituary of Michelle Prear

Michelle was born July 11, 1977, the daughter of Thomas Prear and Josie Chaney and was adopted by Joetta at the age of 2. She graduated from Sapulpa High School in 1995 and was a member of several organizations. After graduation, Michelle attended Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. She was a member of Mt. Olive Baptist Church and at an early age she served as Sunday School Secretary and President of the Youth Choir as well as a member of the Usher Board. Michelle spent most of her time with family and friends and she never met a stranger. She always found a way to put a smile on anyone's face. She was known to quote all of her favorite lines from every movie since the 80's. Her dream was to be an actress, but she could have made it as a stand up comedian. She was a loyal person and friend. If Chelle was around the atmosphere would be full of laughter. Regardless of her mood, she would make it a point to put others before herself. If she told you she was on her way, you knew that meant an hour and a half later. SHE WAS NEVER ON TIME!!! And when she finally arrived it was truly worth the wait. Michelle is preceded in death by Thomas Prear, Josie Chaney and maternal grandparents, Onis and Thelma Pankey, Sr. and paternal grandparents, Thomas and Vivian Prear, Sr. She is survived by her mother, Joetta Hart; one sister, Melissa Townsley; two brothers, Michael Cobb and Thomas Prear; two nieces, Gabrielle and Kyra; three nephews, Chris, Will and Thomas, Jr.; one godson, Jaelon; a host of anunts, uncles, cousins, extended family and friends. Her smile, her laughter, her love will live in our hearts forever and will be missed dearly.  Service: Saturday, November 1, 2008 at 2:30 PM Mt.
