Michelle R. Alejandro

MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. – It is with deep sorrow and much love that we announce the loss of Michelle R. Alejandro, 59, of Merritt Island, Fla. She slipped away on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2025.

She was born at Regional Memorial Hospital, the first of five children, to Daniel Bruce Carey and Mary Lou (Reny) Pascoe on July 27, 1965.

Michelle was one of the most fun, boisterous, and passionate souls we knew. She found peace in the outdoors, and delighted in boat trips to the lake or strolling the beach. She had a bounce in her step, a bubbly laugh, and a gentle bedside manner, like her mother.

Michelle had a natural knack for learning, the grit of a carpenter, and a love for animals, like her father; and had a gift for silliness from them both. She loved long drives, staying up late, listening to music, and laughing until her abs were sore.

Michelle was full of life, and was extraordinarily outgoing. She loved to hop on her motorcycle, find adventure, get lost, and navigate a new way home. A graceful gymnast, a beautiful dancer, and a fierce martial artist, she never gave up the chance to learn a new skill. A gypsy at heart, Michelle tried on many hats over the course of her life, and could build or fix nearly anything. She was extremely proud of her nieces and nephews, and was often found at concerts, recitals, and graduations. She was a hard rocking, roller skating, tap dancing, water skiing, cruising, jumping, tumbling, powder keg of humanity.

Michelle was predeceased by her parents Daniel Carey and Mary (Reny) Pascoe; her brother, Louis Carey, and her sister, Eva (Carey) Todd.

She is survived by her husband of six years, Omar Alejandro; godmother, Shirley Jolicoeur of Winslow; aunt, Margaret (Carey) Soucy and husband Lester of Waterville, uncle, Paul Carey and wife Patty of Ellsworth, aunt, Deb Carey of Readfield; brother, Daniel Carey Jr. of Waterville, sister, Tammy Carey of Waterville, sister-in-law, Lynn Carey, sisters-in-law Carla and Eva Valentine of Brookline, Mass.; nieces, nephews, and many cousins.

A ceremony will be held by family in the spring.
