Michelle Lynn Wood (Nee: Mertins), 64, passed on December 30, 2024, at Thedacare Regional Medical Center/Hospice in Neenah, WI. She was born in Racine, WI on July 19, 1960, to Glenn & Laurissa (Wurster) Mertins.

Michelle was best known for her love of singing & playing the organ for church. It was one of her favorite past times since she was young & her way to give back. Many also knew her for her love of cooking. She even taught her partner/caretaker, Kerry, how to make her most favorite meals. Most noted, she loved her family- especially her grandchildren. She loved to be outdoors where she could be found outside with her garden & flowers, or chilling with one of the many roaming cats in her area.

She is survived by her 3 daughters: Jamie Mertins, Devon Bernal (Domingo III), Annette Burk (Keeghan) & her partner/caretaker, Kerry Miller & his son, Gage Miller. Her grandchildren: Riley Puma, Lucas Grycowski, Savannah Bernal, Nevaeh Bernal, Domingo Bernal IV & Kye Miller, as well as many family & friends. She was preceded in death by her brother, Daniel Mertins & her father, Glenn Mertins.

Family and friends are invited to meet in the Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home and Crematory on Friday, January 17, 2025 for a visitation from 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm.  A service celebrating her life will follow at 6:30 pm.

The family would like to thank Kerry Miller for his love & dedication to caring for Michelle throughout her entire time after her health changed. Without his dedication to her, she would not have gotten the level of love, care or companionship he showed all the way to the end. We are forever grateful for you being there for her. Thank you for loving her unconditionally, as well as all of us.

Also, a big thank you to the wonderful staff at Thedacare Neenah. The 6th floor staff & hospice group helped us all through this rough time with care & grace. They took the time to make sure we all were taken care of & made Michelle comfortable through her passing.

Testimonials

The Munoz Family

My siblings and I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to plan a funeral for our beloved mother – Juana Munoz. During this difficult time, we were fortunate enough to come across a funeral home that truly went above and beyond what was expected. Their attention to detail and dedication to ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the entire process was truly remarkable. From the moment we stepped foot into the funeral home, we were greeted with warmth and compassion. The staff members, but specifically Mark was incredibly understanding and empathetic, making us feel at ease during such a challenging time. Mark took the time to listen to our needs and wishes, and his guidance and support were invaluable. One aspect that truly stood out was Mark’s meticulous attention to detail. He paid close attention to every aspect of the funeral arrangements, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. From the floral arrangements to the music selection, every detail was carefully considered and executed flawlessly. Mark even noticed that the temperature in the room was getting warm and promptly adjusted it to ensure our comfort. What impressed me the most was their commitment to our safety. Mark and his team took every precaution to ensure that our family and guests were protected throughout the entire process. From the funeral home to the cemetery, Mark made sure that all safety measures were in place, including providing hand sanitizers, and even arranging for additional staff members to assist with crowd control. Furthermore, Mark’s professionalism and organization was evident in every aspect of the funeral service. He coordinated seamlessly with the cemetery staff, ensuring a smooth transition from the funeral home to the final resting place. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly made a difference in our overall experience. In addition to their exceptional service, the funeral home also provided us with resources and support beyond the funeral itself. They offered grief counseling services and connected us with local support groups, which proved to be invaluable during our grieving process. Overall, we cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Mark, and broader, Draeger Langendorf team. Their attention to detail, commitment to our safety, and genuine compassion made a difficult time a little more bearable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of funeral arrangements, as they truly go above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of and that families are supported throughout . the entire process. – Epifanio and The Munoz Family
