Michele is predeceased by her beloved husband, Dave Swanson; her father, Gerard Palmeri; her stepfather, Carl Fish and her sister, Kimberly Padron.

Born in Glens Falls, New York, on June 20, 1954, she spent most of her childhood and early adult life in Miami, Florida, where she kindled her profound zest for life. She graduated from Carol City High School and pursued her passion of selling real estate.

Michele married the late Gary Huddlestun, and together had Lisa, her loving daughter, with whom Michele shared a close and precious bond. Michele was then re-married to the late David Swanson, with whom she shared a beautiful life. Together they owned three Subway restaurants until retiring to live their shared dream of traveling across the country in their RV.

Wanting to be closer to her daughter and family, Michele and Dave eventually relocated to New Jersey where Michele joyously spent precious time with her grandchildren, gifting them with cherished, lasting memories and love.

Michele Swanson was a beloved daughter, mother, wife, sister, GiGi, aunt, cousin, and friend. May her loving soul, positivity, bravery, resilience, compassion, and grace resonate forever within our hearts. She was a true testament reminding us all to love, laugh, and live a little more each day, in her honor, as she did.
