The following obituary was composed by Michelle’s family:
Michelle Catherine Sauter (Shell) of Willow Grove PA was born March 6, 1967, and passed away unexpectedly on May 8, 2025, at the age of 58.
She loved all of her family and friends who became family because once she loved you, you were family. This was apparent by her many *adopted* children who called her mom dukes. Shell had many hobbies, being the life of the party, spending time and cuddling with her grandkids, crafts & sewing, drinking her beer, hanging out with her best friend April, training her cat Milo and, of course, getting on everyone's nerves.
To know Michelle was to know how to let loose, have fun and laugh. She was full of witty comebacks, her own remixed version of songs, dark humor and dad jokes. This is why I chose to write her obituary in a way I know she'd appreciate, in love and laughs.
She finally got her wish in joining her beloved husband Roger Donaldson Sr (2017), nephew Carl Sauter (2016), and clearly her favorite *adopted daughter* Shantel Oglesby (2025) who passed unexpectedly 10 weeks prior to her.
Michelle is survived by her parents, Michelle Lignore & Jerry Gallagher, brother & sister in law Rob & Terri Sauter, Her daughter's Jessica & *Lauren* Grandchildren *Alize & Janiyah* Danessa & Omnia, *Gianna & Aubriella*
There will be a celebration of her life at her brother Rob & sister in law Terri's house in Warminster on June 21, 2025, at 1 PM.
