Michelle Helen Heller

Michelle Helen Heller, age 58, passed away at Hospice Christopher House in Austin, TX on December 2, 2019. She was born on August 18, 1961 in Long Island, New York to Roy Heller and Rosemarie Isenrich.

Michelle grew up in New York and California. After a few stops in various states, and some extended stays with family in Switzerland, she eventually landed in Texas. In 2016, she received an Associate Degree of Applied Science in Building Construction Technology from Austin Community College.

Michelle had an interesting and varied work history that included work as a commercial fisherman and as a licensed massage therapist. She was most recently employed as a home remodeling contractor and professional organizer. The joy in each career, however, came from the people she met along the way.

Michelle had many interests, including arts and crafts, collecting rocks and minerals, and studying homeopathic medicine. She had a kind and generous heart and always looked for ways to serve others.

Most important to Michelle was her beautiful daughter and granddaughters. Michelle is survived by her parents, daughter Moriah Herndon, granddaughters Ahmala, Emaleth, and Abigail Zargallows, and sister Diane.

Funeral services will be held at 5:00 PM on Thursday, December 12, 2019 at Cook-Walden/Forest Oaks at 6300 W. William Cannon Dr. in Austin, TX. A reception will follow.
