Michelle Renee Miller

Michelle Renée Miller of Nampa, Idaho, passed away peacefully on August 3, 2026, after facing long-term health challenges with immense courage. She began her life’s journey on November 21, 1959, in Maxwell, California.

Michelle touched many lives with her humor and unwavering spirit. She possessed a true passion for the arts, finding great joy in crafting, creating jewelry, and singing.

"For everything, there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance" - Ecclesiastes 3:1-4

She is survived by her daughters and son and their families: Carley Berleen Pearl and her husband, Jonathan Pearl, of Centralia, Washington; their children Robert Berleen and Bryanna, Cody Kemp and Mel, and Minnie.

Michelle was also deeply blessed to be a great-grandmother to Kayomi, the beautiful daughter of Cody and Mel,

Justine Tkachenko and her fiancé, Christophe Zels, of Fexhe-Slins, Belgium; and their daughter, Briséis. 

Micheal Tkachenko and his wife, Ashley Tkachenko, of Fairbanks, Alaska; and their children, Micah, Mikayla, and Maximus. 

She is also survived by a large extended family and many dear friends.

She was preceded in death by her mother Linda McLeod Dean Rochford who was her rock and her guiding light throughout her life, with whom she is now peacefully reunited.

Our family extends a heartfelt thank you to Andreea Mangeac, whose years of unwavering assistance, love, and support brought immense comfort to our Mom.

With deep appreciation, we also thank the staff at Karcher Senior Living Center, as well as the Post-Acute and Hospice teams, for their compassionate support and dedicated care.
