Michelle Marie Mares Hummingbird, 55, of Phoenix, AZ, passed away peacefully on September 5, 2024, surrounded by family after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. She was born on February 5, 1969, at Fort Bragg, NC.
Michelle graduated from Maryvale High School in 1987 and was known for her meticulous organizational skills and natural leadership.

Even during her illness, Michelle always greeted visitors with a smile, regardless of her pain. Her strength and grace shined through until the very end.
Michelle is survived by her loving mother, Mina; her twin children, Jasmine and Joseph; her sisters, Marni and Monica; her brothers, Steven, Michael, and Anthony; her cherished granddaughter, Raelyn; and a handful of nieces and nephews.

Michelle was a wonderful friend to me. She called me Boss Lady and worked with me every Tuesday until, because of her health, could not join me on Tuesdays. She was, as has been mentioned, a very organized and efficient person, punctual, happy, and friendly person and a wonderful friend. I met Michelle when she called me to list her home she had shared with her beloved husband. It was a difficult thing for her to do, but as we went through the steps it took, she remained strong and steadfast until it closed escrow and she was safely in another home of her choice. We shared laughter, tears and hard work together. I shall always love and miss my friend, until we meet again.

Mish, I miss you so much. This morning leaving work, a nurse asked my about you. I do not work w her so it caught me off guard. She recognized my name from when I visited you in the Neuro Dept at my hospital. She remembered you. I told her you has passed a month ago, and she sent her condolences. She said, I always thought about her after she left. You’ve left an impression on people you meet. I miss you Sis. I’m glad your services are done, but it doesn’t make me miss you any less.
