Michele Laws

Michele Lynne (Nichols) Laws, age 72, of Bangor, Michigan, passed away at her home on Friday, March 17, 2023. She was born on March 2, 1951, in Allegan, MI. Michele grew up in Otsego, MI where she met the love of her life, John H Laws and married him on October 21, 1967. She had 5 children: Travis Laws, Brandy Laws, Desiree (Ken) Stamper, Max Laws, and Aaron Laws; 7 grandchildren, Cherish, Desiray, Tiffany, and Jordyne Marshall and Taylor, Colton, and Skylar Stamper; and 2 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her father, Max Nichols and her baby sister. There are not enough words to describe how much she will be missed; from her bright blue eyes to her strong will and fighting spirit. Michele spent most of her life devoted to taking care of others. Throughout her life, she opened her home several times to those that needed a safe place. She cared for her grandchildren from the time they were infants to the time they went to school and beyond. You could always hear Michele singing a lullaby that she had made up for each child. You would probably catch her outside, barefoot, watching her children and grandchildren playing and making memories in the yard; as that was one of her favorite things to do. Michele also enjoyed doing puzzles, playing Scrabble, card games, crocheting, sewing, and rearranging the living room each week. She loved cooking and always made enough to feed an army. During her time as Captain of the Allegan County Mounted Division Auxiliary Unit, she spent fair week making sure all the men and women had a hot, home cooked meal before their patrols. She made the Christmas spirit come to life with decorations and baking cookies and other sweet treats. Michele was always there to help with homework, life, advice, and anything you needed her for. She will be deeply missed by those near and dear to her heart. Per her wishes cremation has taken place and no formal services will be held at this time. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Centrica Care Hospice team for taking such great care of her over the last year. Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Michigan Cremation & Funeral Care, Grand Rapids, 616-452-3006.
