Michelle L. Roudebush, 48, of Canton, Illinois, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, November, 22, 2020, after battling glioblastoma (brain cancer). She was born in Fort Morgan, Colorado, but lived in Missouri and Illinois most of her life. In 2012, Michelle married the love of her life, Dr. Andrew Roudebush, in Fort Myers, Florida. Michelle held a bachelor's degree in business management from William Woods University and worked as an administrative assistant at Capital Region Medical Center in Jefferson City, Mo, and later part-time at Edward Jones in Canton, Ill. She was an avid quilter, loved to travel, and enjoyed reading, gardening, shooting, four wheeling, and trail riding. She attended Methodist churches in both Missouri and Illinois. Michelle's greatest accomplishment was loving others fiercely. She was always happiest when spending time with her family and friends. Until her health condition made it impossible, Michelle made it a point to be there for the people she loved.
