Michelle Marie Soultaire's Obituary
Michelle Marie Soultaire was peacefully called home to be with the Lord on January 15,2026 at 59 years of age. Michelle was born in San Antonio Texas, on December 15,1966. Michelle was a loving mother, a gifted poet, and a woman whose humor and intelligence lit up every room she entered. She passed away peacefully leaving behind a deep well of love, laughter, and creativity that will be forever missed.
Michelle was funny and smart in a way that felt effortless—quick with a sharp observation, a witty remark, or a perfectly timed smile. She had a poet’s soul, finding beauty and meaning in words, nature, and everyday moments. Writing was one of the ways she expressed her heart and made sense of the world around her.
Above all, Michelle was a devoted mother. Her love was fierce, constant, and unwavering, and her only son , Tucker was the center of her world. She also adored her three dogs, Lille, Lyla and Luke, who were her constant companions and a great source of comfort and joy.
Michelle found peace outdoors. She loved being on the water, boating whenever she could, and she took great joy in gardening—working with her hands, nurturing life, and watching things grow. These quiet moments reflected her thoughtful, gentle spirit.
Michelle will be remembered for her laughter, her words, her love, and the way she made people feel truly known. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to know her.
Michelle was preceded in death by her son Tucker Soultaire, Mother Colleen Caswell. Beloved dogs Lille, Lyla and Luke.
