Michelle Leann Taylor Lunsford of Sheridan, Arkansas was born November 6, 1967 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, the daughter of Shelby and JoAnn Hawkins Taylor. She was a member of Grace Fellowship Church in Sheridan, and worked for her family's business, Shelby Taylor Trucking. She had also taught 5th grade at Sheridan Intermediate School for several years. Michelle was always on the go, either traveling and making memories with her family, or helping out her community. She was a member of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, and gave generously of her time and resources to Arkansas Children's Hospital, through the Log A Load for Kids event. Her triplets said she liked to shop (a lot), ride any rollercoaster she could find, listen to good music, and hands down, her favorite food was birthday cake icing. Above all else, her heart was focused on her family. She cherished every moment she could spend with them. Her smile was as big as her personality, and she was loved by so many people, and touched countless lives. Michelle died Sunday, November 12, 2017, at her home in Sheridan, just a few days after her 50th birthday. She was preceded in death by her husband's mother, Alice Faye Blackerby Lunsford.
