Michele Joy "Mickie" Wilcox, age 72, died October 1, 2019.
She touched the hearts of all she came across throughout her life, from her early days with her family as a tap dancer in the Chicago area, to raising her four children; Ron (Christa) Shugan, David (Julie) Shugan, Amanda (Pete) Cappellini and Will (Nikki) Wilcox in Michigan and Florida, to all of her friends and colleagues at Dick's Towing of Joliet.
She was an habitual shoe shopper, but most importantly she loved to be called 'Grandma' by her seven grandsons; Andrew (Lynette) Shugan, Brandon (Amanda) Shugan, Zach Shugan, Dylan Shugan, Liam Daughtery, Riley Daughtery and Jackson Cappellini.
Properly given the middle name of 'Joy', she loved singing along to Barry Manilow, being with family for a cup of coffee or just sharing in some fun with her bunco group.
Michele was a Florida beach girl at heart. Baseball and other sports were never far away as she always rooted for her hometown, White Sox and was happy and even shocked when the Cubs or Bears found their way to a win.
She slowly zipped through the Joliet streets in Mickie's Mini-Cooper or could be seen cheerfully hanging with her loving partner in life, Dick Bartel, just laughing and traveling throughout the states. They just enjoyed what life presented them with their precious dogs, Oscar and Stewie.
What made Mickie so special was her ability to laugh. She enjoyed every day and just needed the simplest of things. She encouraged everyone to do what made them happy as that is where she found enjoyment.
Michele came from very little but always gave everything, sometimes more than what she had, but that is what made her the happiest.
Anyone that knew her was blessed to have shared their lives with her, learn from her, laugh with her and just be with her.
She's now in heaven with her Mom (Rhea Goldstine), Dad (Sam Goldstine) and Brother (Arnie Goldstine) enjoying some laughs and playing some cards while sharing a chopped liver sandwich and a bowl of matzo ball soup.
