Michelle Ann Partridge

On May 22, 2010, Michelle Ann Partridge, 44, died of an unexpected brain hemorrhage at Providence Hospital in Anchorage. A private service for Michelle will be held at a later date.

Born in Detroit, Michelle was the only child of Harry Partridge and Darlene Rose Hartson Boyle. She grew up in Cheboygan, Mich., and in January 1983 she arrived in Alaska. Michelle was a dedicated volunteer, giving her time to help others and, in particular, loved to help animals at various shelters.

She touched the lives of all those she came into contact with.

Michelle had been employed by various companies during her life, including Quality Sand and Gravel, and Wasilla MVCU. On June 21, 1987, Michelle married Wes Coyne and had two sons, Jon and Hunter. They later divorced.

Michelle is preceded in death by her grandparents and son Hunter.

She is survived by her son Jon; mother and step-father Darlene and Bill Boyle; father and step-mother Harry and Jan; brother Seth; numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, grandnephews and nieces; and her best friend and boyfriend Brian Haye; and many friends.

In memory of Michelle, the family suggests donations to be made to any animal shelter of your choice, or Make a Wish or No One Dies Alone (NODA).

Arrangements were entrusted to Legacy Funeral Home-Kehl’s Palmer Chapel.
