Obituary: Michele Smith, 60, of Branford

Those who knew her knew that she'd give the shirt off her back for anyone, and made it her life mission to help others before herself.

Michele Smith, 60, passed away peacefully, but unexpectedly, at her home in Branford, CT on November 26, 2023. Michele was born in Bridgeport on June 7th, 1963.

Those who knew Michele knew that she would give the shirt off her back for anyone, and made it her life mission to help other people before herself. Her daughter Samantha and grandson Sal were her true pride and joy and her reason for living. She loved spending her weekends babysitting her grandson, soaking up the summer sun at Cosey Beach, or lounging with her cat, Bentley and more recently, Enzo.
