In Loving Memory of Michelle Glisson
Paterson, New Jersey
Sunrise: — | Sunset: July 21, 2025

With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, we announce the passing of Michelle Glisson of Paterson, New Jersey, who transitioned from this world on July 21, 2025. Michelle was a beacon of strength, compassion, and quiet resilience—a woman whose presence touched countless lives and whose memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Michelle leaves behind her two precious daughters, Sydney and Skylar, who were the absolute center of her universe. She loved them fiercely and unconditionally, and everything she did was grounded in her desire to provide them with a life filled with love, stability, and opportunity. Her role as a mother was not only one of duty, but of pure joy. She celebrated their victories, nurtured their dreams, and stood as their greatest supporter through life’s highs and lows.

A proud Paterson native, Michelle was deeply connected to her community. She was known as someone who would give without expecting anything in return—always ready to lend a listening ear, offer a helping hand, or speak words of encouragement. Whether volunteering at local schools, supporting neighborhood initiatives, or simply being a reliable friend and neighbor, Michelle lived with a spirit of service and grace.

Professionally, Michelle was respected by colleagues and admired for her work ethic, intelligence, and poise. She brought integrity and care into everything she did. But above all else, she will be remembered for the way she made people feel—seen, valued, and loved.

Her passing has left a tremendous void not only in the lives of her daughters but also within the fabric of the community she helped weave together with kindness and empathy. As Sydney and Skylar now face the unimaginable journey of moving forward without their mother, they are surrounded by a community that is rallying to support them with love, guidance, and unwavering care. Family, friends, neighbors, and local organizations are all stepping in to honor Michelle’s legacy by helping her daughters find strength and hope in this new chapter.

In these difficult days, we ask that everyone keep Sydney and Skylar in your thoughts and prayers. May they find comfort in the countless stories being shared about their mother’s impact, and may they carry forward her legacy of warmth, generosity, and love.

A memorial service celebrating Michelle’s life will be announced in the coming days. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests contributions to a trust fund being established for Sydney and Skylar’s future education and well-being—a cause Michelle deeply believed in.

Though Michelle Glisson is no longer with us in body, her spirit remains ever present—in her daughters’ bright smiles, in the lives she touched, and in the hearts of all who carry her memory forward. Her love was a light, and that light will never go out.
