Michelle Ann (Mako) Pelham

Michelle Ann (Mako) Pelham, age 47, of Tampa, Florida, went home to be with the Lord on September 4, 2022. She was born in San Diego, California and had a wonderful childhood growing up in New Hampshire and Connecticut. She moved to Tampa for sunshine and adventure and made many friends along her journey. Michelle graduated from the University of Tampa with a degree in Computer and Information Science and was currently employed by Blue Water Federal Solutions as a Business Operations Analyst. She lit up the room when she entered it, and had infectious joy and laughter. Her love for her husband, family, friends, all animals, and travel was beyond measure and she will be greatly missed. Michelle leaves behind her beloved and adoring husband, Jason Pelham, her brother, Frank J. Mako III, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, nieces, and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Frank J. Mako, Jr. and Doris Ann (Long) Mako. Those of us who were privileged to know her softness, her strength, and her brilliant energy will remember her always. A celebration of life will be held on Friday, September 16th at 7pm at Blount Curry Macdill, 605 S. Macdill Ave, Tampa FL. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Tampa Cat Crusaders at tampacatcrusaders.org.
