HUDSON FALLS – Michelle Lee (Taylor) Anderson, 43, of Hudson Falls, passed away peacefully, with her loving husband by her side, on Friday, December 18, 2015.
Born on February 11, 1972, in Glens Falls, she was the daughter of Clarence “Bill” and Philomena (DeMarino) Taylor.
Michelle went to Abraham Wing School and graduated from Glens Falls High School in 1990. Throughout high school, she served as playground leader through the Glens Falls Recreation Department. While working at Glens Falls National Bank, she met the love of her life, Scott Anderson. They were married on May 12, 2007 at St. Mary’s Church in Glens Falls.
Michelle was most proud to have worked with children at the Abraham Wing School, a school that she deeply loved. She would say “Putting a smile on a kids’ face, brought a tear to her eyes”. Michelle was a beautiful person with a wonderful giggle, who filled the hearts of everyone she met.
Michelle loved to go for rides with Scott in the country to see the farms and animals “her mommies”. She enjoyed arts and crafts, making wreaths and trips to A.C. Moore. Michelle would frequent Bath and Body Works for her “fufu” body sprays. She was so close with her soulmate, Scott, her father “Poppy”, who was her buddy, her “Ma”, who sat with her every day at dialysis and always made sure she had something to drink, her “tister” and best friend, Tina, Juju, her adopted sister and Don “Fil” her loving and giving father in law, who was just a phone call away.
