Michele Gerus Clayton Obituary

We are sad to announce that on October 6, 2024 we had to say goodbye to Michele Gerus Clayton of Bourbonnais, Illinois. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Michele Gerus Clayton to show support.

As we bid Michele Gerus farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Michele Gerus is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

She was predeceased by: her parents, Matthew Cholewa (Peter J. Clayton) and Renetta Cholewa. She is survived by: her brother Mitchell Cholewa; her sister-in-law Debbie; her sons, Kevin, Ryne and Neal; her grandchildren, Megan and Erin; her nephew Vincent; and also Aubrielle.

Memorials may be made in Michele's memory to NAWSUS.org and Illinoisplants.org.

Sue Schell wrote a sympathy message

“To Michele’s Family After growing up & sharing many zany antics together, we never again lived close to each other. Facebook came and we immediately resumed our friendship. We learned of our passion in rescuing abused dogs & that we both had sons. Michele had helped so many in her lifetime, being taken from her family & friends, feels wrong but it’s moments like this that test our faith. I like to think that Michele’s work here must’ve been complete and why she was called home by God, May She Rest in Peace Forever.”
