Michelle Marie Kruck

Michelle Marie Kruck was born on October 2, 1972, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She moved to Shreveport, Louisiana as a young girl, where she grew to touch the hearts and lives of every being fortunate enough to know her.

In the early morning of November 27, 2023, at age 51, Michelle peacefully concluded a long and courageous battle in the intensive care unit.

Michelle graduated from Captain Shreve High School in 1991 and worked tirelessly for more than 25 years to cultivate a home full of laughter and love with her two children, Mikaela and Trevor - her greatest gifts in this world. Michelle will forever be remembered for her electric personality, tremendous work ethic, enthusiasm for life, love for music, and nurturing soul. 

She is survived by her mother, Carol, sister, Kimberly, daughter, Mikaela, son, Trevor, aunt, Hassie, cousin, Andrew, nephew, Taylor, and partner for more than 18 years, Jason. She was preceded in death by her cherished cousin, Adam.

Michelle leaves behind a legacy of resilience, compassion, and strength. 

Her children extend the most heartfelt thank you to her critical care team at Christus Shumpert: Shreveport Highland’s Medical ICU for their compassionate care, especially nurses: Patty, Anterrika, Brandon; and intinsivists Dr. Faraaz Nayeemuddin and Dr. Robert Rickman. 

After a period of mourning, her children will host a private celebration of Michelle’s life for family and her many friends.
