Michelle Repke

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Michelle Repke, an amazing wife and partner, cherished mother, and true friend that touched the hearts of so many. Michelle lost her battle with cancer and went home to Jesus on June 25th, 2026, at the age of 53.

Michelle was born on November 6th, 1972, in St Croix Falls, WI, and from an early age carried a spirit of kindness, strength, and quiet resilience that would shape her entire life. She built a life centered around love, family, and friendship—values she lived every single day.

As a wife, Michelle was a true partner and companion to Tom, sharing 8 years of marriage filled with laughter, support, and unwavering devotion. Their bond was a steady foundation that touched everyone around them and served as an example of enduring love.

As a mother and grandmother, “Mamma Shelly” was her children and grandchildren’s greatest advocate and source of comfort. Michelle is lovingly remembered by her children, Scotty (Kim Olander Linnell) Moore, David Abernathy (Katelyn Mueller), Alicia Ammerman (Bryan Rixe-Carlson), and grandchildren, Alyiah, Zelena, Rosie, Barrett, Lilly, & Eli, who will forever carry her lessons, her encouragement, and her unconditional love in their hearts. She found her greatest joy in watching them grow, guiding them with patience and pride.

To her friends, Michelle was a constant presence, a listener, a confidant, and someone who could always be counted on. Her kindness, humor, and genuine care for others created lifelong friendships and lasting memories for all who knew her.

Beyond her roles as wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, Michelle enjoyed camping, hunting, and traveling with her husband Tom. She found simple joy in family gatherings, raising chickens, sapping and making syrup, campfires and time on the river, and brought warmth into every room she entered.

She is survived by her husband Tom, father Mike (Velma) Bjork, brother Micah (Shelly) Bjork, brother Brian (Eva) Bjork and is preceded in death by her mother Bertha Bjork and her father-in-law Russ Repke.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, July 18th at 9263 Grey Cloud Island Drive S. St Paul Park, MN. 55071. Visitation will begin at 12PM with a short service around 1:00 PM. There will be opportunity for family and friends to share special memories. We will celebrate her life and the love she shared so freely.

Though she is no longer with us, Michelle’s legacy of kindness, love, and compassion will live on through her family and all those fortunate enough to have known her.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
