Surrounded by loved ones, Michele Teresita St. Louis died in Chico on Monday, Jan. 16, 2023, following a brief illness. She was born in Chico to George Francis and Teresita Adeline St. Louis on Oct. 17, 1963, which, coincidentally, was her mother’s 21st birthday.
She grew up in Orland and spent her entire life in Glenn County. She attended Lake Elementary School and Orland High School.
After high school, she became a home health aide and worked in the hospice program for many years, followed by becoming a medical assistant and working in other health care settings. Over the years, her family would hear from some of her patients’ families about the amazing care she provided to their loved ones.
She had a tremendous amount of compassion and empathy for others.
Traveling to Fort Bragg or Sun River with her family were some of her favorite pastimes. She was also extremely lucky whenever she had the opportunity to play slot machines.
She loved all her family and friends fiercely. She was incredibly proud of her nieces and nephews and their children as well.
Any activity involving family was extremely important to her.
She is survived by her son, Jeffrey Michael St. Louis of Colusa; one granddaughter; siblings Corinne Enos (Rick) of Glenn, Lonnie St. Louis (Stacy) of Orland, and Janelle Maxwell (Wade) of San Jose; two nieces; five nephews; and four great-nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Terry St. Louis.
A celebration of life is planned for 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 4, at the home of Rick and Corinne Enos in Glenn. Feel free to contact Corinne Enos or Sweet-Olsen Family Mortuary in Orland for more information.
