Michelle was born on November 27, 1946 in Grand Rapids. A horse lover and avid rider, Michelle and her husband of 35 years, Arlan, bred, raised, competed, and loved trail riding. She passed her love of horses on to some of the children and grandchildren and was very active in helping them achieve their goals - and most importantly, learn along the way. Michelle was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who never hesitated to lend a helping hand; and cared deeply for her family, friends, and animals. She is survived by her husband Arlan; children Paul Owen, Mike (Julie) Owen, Jason Seeley, Eric Oesch, Lanny (Ashley) Overholt, Julie (Ed) Sanders, Jackie Foster, Jeanine (Bob) Hynes, and Jeanette Overholt; 15 grandchildren; 20 great grandchildren, with one on the way; and sister-in-law Mary Martin. She was preceded in death by her mother Sally Martin; father William Martin; brother Steb Martin; daughter-in-law Brenda Owen; parents-in-law George and Marian Overholt; and greatgrandson Baby Jacob. In keeping with Michelle’s wishes there will be no funeral service. As Michelle was a breast cancer survivor and avid horsewoman, the family asks that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation or the American Quarter Horse Association Foundation in her memory. A memorial luncheon was held Saturday, October 10th at the home of her son Jason Seeley in Lowell. A memorial horse show will be held at A2 Performance Horses/Triple O Equine on Saturday, October 25th at noon. All proceeds will benefit the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center.
