Michelle Starr Garzelli, 56, of Fowler, California, passed away too soon
on March 7, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on May 26, 1967, in Newport Beach, California, Michelle was the
second of four children to Bernard Francis McLaughlin and Melinda
Starr Snyder.

After graduating from Fowler High School, Michelle pursued higher
education and earned her business degree from Fresno Pacific
University. Her intellect and passion for business led her to a successful
career as a business analyst at Gallo Winery, where she was respected by
her colleagues for her dedication and keen insights.

Michelle is survived by her devoted husband of 25 years, Jim Garzelli;
her daughter Elizabeth, her partner Isaac, and their two children —
Brielle and Sophia; her son, Richard, and his wife Irina; and her siblings,
David, Mark, and Janel. Her presence as a wife, mother, grandmother,
and sister was a beacon of love and support.

Known for her warm spirit, great hugs, and zest for life, Michelle
cherished moments spent baking and crafting with her daughter and
granddaughters, always encouraging their creativity and being their
greatest supporter. She also loved spending time with her son and
daughter-in-law exploring nature, hiking, and sharing adventures.

Michelle's passing leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew her, but her
legacy of love, family, and perseverance will continue to inspire us. She
will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
