It is with profound sadness and boundless love that we announce the passing of Michelle Lynn Longcore, beloved wife, devoted mother, daughter, sister, and friend. Michelle went home to be with the Lord on November 5th, 2025, surrounded by family and held in love until her final moment.

While born in Seattle, Washington Michelle grew up in Zionsville, Indiana. She brought laughter and joy to those who knew her whether through her quick wit, warm smile, or quiet acts of friendship. After making lifelong friends in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and earning her PharmD doctorate from her beloved University of Michigan, Michelle began her vibrant and joyous marriage to her husband and moved to the Chicago area. Always one for adventure, they eventually relocated across the country finally settling in Laguna Beach, California.

Above all else, Michelle’s greatest joy was her family. She was the heart of her home—a loving wife to Curt Longcore and the most extraordinary mother to her two young sons, Cooper (10) and Jack (8). Her days were filled with enjoying the beaches of Laguna with her boys, family vacations, long days at the diamond/field/court, and the kind of love that made every ordinary moment feel spectacular.  Cooper and Jack were Michelle’s pride, her purpose, and are her greatest legacy.  She loved her life and all of the people who came through it. Her friends, of which there were many, each left an imprint on her heart.

Michelle is survived by and will be forever remembered by her husband Curt and her sons Cooper and Jack, as well as her mother Patricia Therasse and brother Christopher (Ashley) Therasse , along with countless friends and loved ones who were touched by her love, her laughter, and her spirit. She was preceded in death by her dearly loved father, Donald Therasse.

Michelle’s love, laughter, and joy will live on in all who knew her—and especially in the hearts of her boys, who will always carry their mother’s light within them.
