Obituary for Michelle C. Moze (Moze)

Michelle C Moze, Age 51

Survived by her supportive and loving mother Marietta Duncan, her sister Ginna, nephew Kovan, and niece Kazmira. Michelle’s huge extended family, most of which have shared fond memories of spending summers with her, her beauty and sense of humor. Also survived by her stepfather Howard Duncan. Ex-husband Renny Ortiz, her mother in law Glenys Mejia. Her devoted friends Charlie, Voula, Samantha and Suzie. As well as so many close friends, travel companions, countless coworkers Michelle had a deep personal relation with all of us.

Michelle was a beautiful soul. Born a true wanderlust. She was able to fuel her passion and travel the world extensively. A lover of exquisite treasures, fine designer things, jewelry, scarves, shoes, shoes and more shoes. Michelle managed to jam three suitcases full of shoes, for a seven-day trip. She was such a generous soul. Michelle would not hesitate to give these exquisite and high-end treasures with her family, friends or acquaintances. One evening when I was visiting her, she gave me a beautiful Fendi Scarf, as if it was nothing. I cherish this item.

Selfless in nature, she never hesitated to anyone’s rescue or spend hours on the phone discussing a personal problem in an attempt to find a solution. Michelle was a statuesque beauty, known to all for her luxurious long blonde hair. Her family and friends all described her as hilarious, fun, entertaining. A prankster, how many of us remember the “dog-jaw”? Who has received a phone call while working from a little voice asking for someone by the name of Seymour Butts?

A dedicated server, she was a long-term employee of Milwaukee area restaurants. At the time of her death, she was employed as the general manager of her family’s Suburpia restaurants.

Michelle kept going until the very end. Hiding her own pain, keeping it bottled up inside. Stunning all who knew her via the means of her tragic end. Had she truly lost all hope? Why did she believe she had no other choice? We will ever understand the depths of loss when feelings abandon a soul and leave an immense void. There will forever be questions left unanswered. What could we have done, why could none of us help? Let us be reminded of how short life really is, and we are just “passing through”.

Please reach out, tell people you love them, reach out to someone you have not heard from in a while, and truly listen when they speak. Notice the subtle warning signs of suicidal thoughts.

Michelle is on her next great journey. I wonder what exquisite items she will find along the way.
