            Michelle Leigh (Maloney) Idalski, age 46, of Alpena, passed away on Friday, September 27, 2019, in Alpena, Michigan.

            She was born on October 2, 1972, in Midland, Michigan. She graduated from Midland High School in 1991. Michelle started working in Restaurant Management throughout the United States before returning to Michigan in 2001. She moved to the Alpena area to be closer to her family. After marrying Greg Idalski on December, 19, 2009, she then returned to school to become a nurse, while maintaining a full time job and worked her way up the ranks starting as an EMT, CNA, worked towards her LPN, and finally reaching her goal as an RN. She graduated from the Alpena Community College with an Associate's Degree in Nursing in 2013. Michelle was very outgoing, made friends easily, and loved to help others.  In addition to helping people, she always had a soft spot for animals and was a pet mom to one dog and three cats.
