Michelle Lea Nilges
Michelle was born on May 27, 1969, in Springfield, Missouri, to Maynard and Linda Larson Wallace.
Although she spent her early childhood years in Butler, Missouri, she called Forsyth, Missouri home most of her life.
Throughout her childhood and high school years in Forsyth, she enjoyed participating in athletics and music.
Michelle loved to explore for creatures in Swan Creek and water ski on Bull Shoals Lake.
She attended and graduated from College of the Ozarks. It was during college that she began working at the Mickey Gilley Theater, in Branson, which turned into a 25+ year career. During much of that time, she served as General Manager and brightened the days of co-workers, locals, and tourists with her friendly nature, sense of humor, kind heart, and beautiful smile.
Recently, Michelle was employed by Branson Public Schools.
She greatly enjoyed fishing, boating, camping, and singing karaoke with friends and family.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, uncles, Mike, Don, Leo, Charles, and Gail; Aunt Charleen; and, sister-in-law Dawn Love.
