Michelle Jeanine Brown

Michelle Jeanine Brown was born on September 13, 1971 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

On December 22, 2025, after many recent health challenges, her difficult life journey here on earth came to completion.

Michelle’s life came with no shortage of challenges, all of which she faced in her own way and in her own time. Her strength and resilience did not go unnoticed. She was admired by many who knew her story and misunderstood by those who did not.

Growing up, Michelle attended schools in Las Vegas, Indian Springs, and McGill, Nevada. She later made Pahrump, Nevada her home for several years before moving to Utah in 2007 to be closer to family.

Michelle LOVED children, and the little ones seemed to be drawn to her. While she was never given the opportunity to have children of her own, she absolutely adored her three nieces and three nephews, and was blessed with a Great Nephew, Atlas, always looking forward to his visits. She loved them all with ALL of her heart - and they loved her just as much in return.

She had a ginormous heart. Michelle would have given the shirt off her back or the last dollar in her wallet to anyone she believed needed it more than she did - which, in her book, was everyone.

Animals held a special place in her heart. She often took in strays, making sure their needs were met long before tending to her own. She has now been reunited with her beloved cat, Keepers, and one can only imagine what a sweet reunion that was.

Michelle was independent and a hard worker. She began waiting tables at the young age of 14 or 15 and made many lasting friendships in the restaurant world. She was friendly, funny, and had a gift for bringing a smile to even the most hardened face.

She worked for several years as a clerk in the Nye County District Attorney’s Office in Pahrump before moving to Utah, where she was then employed by Walmart until her health no longer allowed her to continue working.

Most recently, for more than two years, Michelle resided at Spanish Fork Nursing and Rehabilitation. This was her home. The residents and staff there were her family, and she had immense love for each and every one of them.

Michelle is survived by her sister, Laurie Ramos of Santaquin; her nieces and nephews, Shelbie, Connor, Caden, Isabelle, Ashalie, and Aaron; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, Laurell Sinyard and Duane Brown; her brother, Chris Brown; her brother-in-law, Seamues Ramos; as well as her grandparents and great-grandparents.

We will celebrate Michelle's life on Saturday January 31, 2026, 11:00am, Mountain Country Event Center, 1677 N 150 E Spanish Fork, UT.

She is greatly missed and loved so much by those left behind.
