Michelle Leanne Bealor, 52, of Rolling Prairie, Indiana, passed away Friday January 20, 2023 at Franciscan Hospital - Michigan City.

She was born August 12, 1970 in Michigan City, Indiana, the daughter of Richard and Shirley (Downs) Bealor.

A lifelong resident of the area, Michelle graduated from New Prairie High School in 1989, then went on to business school in Ft. Wayne.  She worked as a clerk at the La Porte County Health Department for over 30 years and was a member of La Porte Assembly of God. Michelle grew up on a farm and was a hard worker, splitting wood in the winter and working the fields in the summer. Her motto was " Get the work done".  Michelle also enjoyed her free time, going out to eat with Andy, especially loving Olive Garden, doing Word Swipe online with her friends, or playing with her beloved fur babies, Toby the dog and Pepper and Tiger the cats. Her favorite fun time activity, though, was following "Thunder From Down Under" to their various shows around the US.  Michelle was a happy person with a wonderful sense of humor and a zest for life.
