Michelle Diane Noel passed away suddenly on October 6, 2024. She was born on December 18, 1958 to June Lepage Bushika and Henry Moses. Later, she was legally adopted by Charles R. Bushika. She graduated from Drury High School in North Adams, MA and continued her education at the Eleanor F. Roberts Institute of Electrology in Boston. She worked as a Certified Professional Electrologist for 42 years. She started and operated offices in Bennington, Manchester, and Brattleboro, VT. She treated hundreds of clients, many of whom touched her and her family in countless ways. Michelle raised three sons who were the loves of her life. She went to every practice, cooked every meal, and loved and protected her family fiercely. All three of her sons grew up to be kind and loving men who are successful in life and in their careers. Jesse and Gabriel are pharmacists and Caleb is a store manager at Aldi. They owe their success to their mother who they called their "rock." Michelle leaves behind her husband of 37 years, Rick Noel, whom she deeply loved throughout both the highs and lows of marriage. She leaves their three sons, Jesse Noel and his wife Amanda Noel, Gabriel Noel and his wife Natalie Noel, and their son, her grandson, Ananias Noel, and Caleb Noel and his longtime girlfriend, Jen Forrett. She is also survived by her sister Monique and her husband, Thor Knapp, and their son, her beloved nephew, Charles Knapp. She is predeceased by her parents, Charles R. Bushika in 2009 and June Lepage Bushika in 2022. Michelle was a beloved daughter of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and she now rests in HIS presence. A ceremony will be held for immediate family and close friends at Harvest Christian Ministries.
