Judy Michelle O'Neal Patrick, 55 of Ludowici, Georgia departed this life to spend eternity with God on Friday, February 15, 2013. She was of the Missionary Baptist faith. Michelle was born to Odell and Faye O'Neal on May 29, 1957 in Wenatchee, WA.
Michelle was a very strong willed woman who handled every obstacle in her life with grace and honesty. She loved her family more than words can express. More importantly, she made sure that each one of us personally knew how much she loved us. No matter what any of her family did in life she was always there to support us or set us straight. She had the kindest spirit and biggest heart. Michelle accepted everyone for who they were and never judged a soul. Her best quality was that she could make us laugh even at our lowest moments.
She lived a fulfilling life that was with her two sons and grandchildren. She recently found love again and remarried. No one can ever replace this truly amazing, one of a kind, crazy, hilarious, loving woman.
