Michelle Angelina Beuchat Bouck

Michelle Angelina Beuchat Bouck, age 57, fulfilled her earthly mission after a heroic battle with brain cancer, surrounded by her beloved family in the comfort of her home. Michelle’s life was defined by faith, energy, service, and deep devotion to her family.

Michelle was born on November 12, 1968, to Gary and Elaine Beuchat in Athens, Ohio. Michelle cherished her role as an older sister and joyfully welcomed the births of her younger siblings, first Maria and then Pete. When she was two years old, her parents were taught by missionaries and baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As Michelle grew and learned more about her Savior and His Gospel, she rarely missed an opportunity to share her testimony with others. She was baptized on November 12, 1976 in Wintersville, Ohio. This decision shaped her life and laid a strong gospel foundation for her family.

Michelle’s love of sports began at a young age. She played multiple sports at Wintersville High School, dominating especially as a pitcher on the softball field. “Bear’s” athletic talent earned her accolades such as Female Player of the Year and All-State honors. She carried her passion for sports throughout her life, as a player and coach for countless teams across all ages and sports.

After graduating with academic honors from Wintersville High School in 1987, Michelle attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. While there, she walked onto the softball team, graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and a teaching certificate, and most importantly, met the love of her life, Tim Bouck.

On May 3, 1989, Michelle and Tim were sealed in the Washington D.C. Temple for time and all eternity. Together, they built a home in McKinney, Texas filled with laughter, activity, and love. Throughout their marriage, they traveled often, and Michelle delighted in seeing many beautiful beaches. They built upon these memories by sharing their love for the beach with their children with regular trips to Destin, Florida.

Michelle’s proudest role was as a mother to her five children; Trevor (Ella), Tyson (Julina Emily), Tanner (Alli), Taylor (Kyle), and Tara; and as a devoted Mimi to Ezra, Julina Eve, Arlo, Blaire, Camellia, and Jett. Her family brought her endless joy and fulfillment, and nurturing them was her crowning achievement.

Michelle spent much of her life caring for children, beginning in her own home and extending into her community. She served as a crossing guard and substitute teacher throughout McKinney ISD, where her love for children and enthusiasm for keeping them active were evident to all who knew her. Summers were often spent at Young Women camp, where Michelle became legendary for her playful mischief, lighthearted pranks, and her gift for making camp experiences unforgettable.

Michelle was preceded in death by her grandparents, Joe and Angie Beuchat and Frank and Joy Brechbill. Her legacy continues on through her parents, Gary and Elaine Beuchat; her husband, Tim Bouck; her siblings, Maria Hoagland and Pete Beuchat; her children and their spouses; and her cherished grandchildren.

Michelle’s absence leaves a tender ache in our family, one that can only be softened by the love of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and our faith in His promise of eternal families. To all who knew and loved her, Michelle’s words remain a call to live fully and faithfully: “Go, Fight, Win.”
