Michelle Lynn Carlin, 50, of Lewiston, was taken from us far too soon Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2017. We may find comfort in the fact that she is in heaven and finally healthy and at peace. She was beloved by her family and will be forever missed.

Michelle was born May 20, 1960, in La Jolla, Calif. She graduated from Asotin High School in 1986. She was employed by Opportunities Unlimited Inc. and took great pride in her work there and the close personal relationships she formed with all of her clients.

Michelle had an enthusiastic love of nature, especially any ocean, river, lake or stream. She loved to soak in all of God's wonders and appreciate the beauty that he created.
