Michelle Danielle Cross of Arcadia, Fl. passed January 23, 2016. She was born April 24, 1977 in Hollywood, Fl. At the age of 3 we moved to Arcadia and made our little town home. Michelle attended preschool through high school in Desoto county. She loved the outdoors, sunsets, hunting and fishing with her Dad, Brothers and close friends. Quote…"I can hunt and fish with the guys and then get all dressed up!"

19 years ago she started working for the Desoto School system with preschool children. Michelle loved each and every child at ECC and New Horizon as her own. Always a smile on her face, full of life and truly a treasure to everyone who knew her!

Michelle attended North Hillsborough Baptist Church. The loss of her reaches far and wide. We find a small measure of peace knowing she is happy with the Lord.

Michelle is survived by her parents, Gene & Cyndi Cross, two brothers, Mike (Judi) Cross & Gary (Angelina) Cross, Grandparents, Ron & Sylvia Jenkins and CW & Lynn Goude from Melbourne. Aunts & Uncles, Pam (Brian) Hembree, Gina (Tom) Mitchner, Linda (Billie) Goude, Bobbie (Mark) LaLonde, Butch (Kim) Goude, Bob (Marietta) Wallace, Ellis (Denise) Cross and many nieces, nephews & cousins. Also many more people she touched including her karate family and one & all of you.

Last but not least Go Noles!!!!!!

The hole in our heart will never be the same again. We now walk by Faith alone.

The service for Michelle's Celebration of Life is Saturday, January 30 ^th , 2016 at First Baptist Church of Arcadia at 2pm.
