Michele was a stay at home mom before beginning her illustrious career as a Human Resources Executive. Michele was an avid traveler, a Broadway buff, and an incredible dancer. Her zest for life was only outdone by her love for her family. Anyone who knew Michele knew that she was generous with her time, her warmth, and, most importantly, her food. Michele was an incredible cook and her recipes will live on in the kitchens of those who loved her most. Michele had the rare ability to make everyone she met feel seen and loved. Holidays were often filled with family, friends, and mere acquaintances for Michele welcomed anyone who needed a place to call home, if even for a day.

Michele was predeceased by Marge (DeRose) and Orazio “Sam” Serino, her beloved daughter Tanya, her sister Stanlee, and niece Tia. Michele is survived by her son Nickolas and his wife Lisa Goldsack, her daughter Johna Goldsack, and her sisters Alicia and Stephanie Serino and Stephanie’s husband David Jarret.
