Michelle Jordan Wertelet's Obituary
Michelle Jordan Wertelet, 49, of South Park (formerly of Baldwin Boro), passed away at home on Monday, December 12, 2022 after a long, courageous battle of unparalleled strength with metastatic breast cancer.
Loving wife of 24 years to Scott; proud mother of Noah, Maya, and Sienna; sister of Carolyn Mader (Larry Schiller) and Denise (Brian) Barefoot; daughter in law of Leonard and Judith Wertelet; and daughter of the late Donald and Katherine (Kunkel) Jordan.
Michelle's proudest accomplishment and greatest joy was being a mom to her three children. She professionally excelled as a nurse for over 25 years, treating her patients with compassion and dignity. Always the funniest (and fastest talking) person in the room, her energy was contagious. Michelle was the first person to offer help to a friend in need, often giving unexpected gifts and cards just to let you know she was thinking about you. The definition of selflessness and grace, she was the perfect host to everyone who entered her home. Michelle loved watching her kids play sports and pursue their passions and was always their biggest fan, rarely missing a game or event even when she wasn't feeling her best. We will remember her laugh, humor, loyalty, generosity, determination, courage and strength, and although none of us will be the same without her, we are all better because of her. Michelle will forever be loved and missed.
Family and friends will be received on Saturday, December 17, 2022 from 6:00pm-8:00pm and on Sunday, December 18, 2022 from 2:00pm-4:00pm and 6:00pm-8:00pm at the Jefferson Memorial Funeral Home Inc., 301 Curry Hollow Road, Pleasant Hills PA 15236.
