Michelle Lynette Smith was born September 25, 1968, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the daughter of James Smith Sr. and the late Irene Smith.

Michelle has been a long-standing citizen of Flint, Michigan. She has been a member of Greater Emanuel Temple for 35 plus years. She had a love for Christ that a lot of people dream of having. She was a graduate of Zimmerman Adult Education. Due to her health issues she was unable to gain employment in the industrial environment but maintained employment at various assisted living homes. She had a heart of platinum. She would take a great percentage of her paycheck and walk through downtown Flint and feed the homeless. She had the kind of morals and values that would change the world if people would practice them!
