Michele Kristine Gold

Michele Kristine Gold was born on November 22, 1994, in Shelbyville, Kentucky, bringing happiness and joy as the first child to Mike and Joanne Gold. She passed away on December 11, 2025, leaving a legacy of love.

Michele brought light, warmth, and creativity to those around her. Attending elementary school in Twin Falls, Sherwood, Oregon and Meridian, shaped the thoughtful person she became. She attended Heritage Middle School and Rocky Mountain High School, graduating with the class of 2013 where she formed strong connections, remaining a loyal friend to many.

She was a conscientious student and continued her education at Utah Valley University before transferring to Dixie State University, earning her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene in 2018. Employed in Cedar City, Utah, and then in Boise at Riverview Dental, Michele was proud of her work and deeply cared about her patients as her gentle nature, compassion, and bright smile made them feel at ease.

Michele blessed us as a gifted artist with a creative soul, inspiring those around her. She recently found joy in watercolors and painted keepsakes for her family and friends. She loved sports including wakeboarding, snowboarding, pickleball, soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis, and track. Her father fondly remembers coaching her soccer team and her mother always cheering her on.

Michele’s greatest joy was being with her family, with siblings Emily (Jed), David (Taunya), Sarah, and Madelyn. As “Auntie Michele,” she joyfully gave her whole heart and soul to her niece, Olivia and her newborn nephew, Wesley. She shared a special bond with her dog, Benny, who provided comfort and companionship.

In addition to her immediate family, Michele is survived by her loving grandparents, several aunts, uncles and many cherished cousins and friends. We will forever love Michele and remember her beauty, kindness, meaningful creativity, contagious smile, quick sense of humor, genuine compliments, compassion, and brave heart. Michele leaves behind a space that cannot be filled, but also a love that will never fade. Michele will be missed beyond words.
