Beloved daughter, mother and Glamma. Life-long civic volunteer and philanthropist. Since 1989 Michaela has served on over 30 boards and guilds including, the Aksarben Foundation’s Women’s Ball Committee, Ballet Omaha, Clarkson Hospital Service League, and Omaha Performing Arts.
In her early years she enjoyed working in the fashion industry at Brandies & Sons where she traveled the world from Hong Kong to NYC as a buyer. Her best days were spent playing golf at Happy Hollow Club where she had two hole-in-ones, driving her turquoise thunderbird with the top down, music up with the wind blowing through her hair. Michaela’s greatest joy was time with her family, especially her grandchildren, and friends outdoors with the sun shining bright. She was so many things to so many people and loved life.

Thank you so much –
I am saddened to read of Michaela’s passing. I worked with Michaela years ago. I accompanied her to see Pope John Paul II when we were in New York on a buying trip. I will always remember the moment when he waved right at us. Michaela was a pleasant & up-beat personality to have as a friend! I extend my deepest condolences to the family.
My prayers and thoughts go out to you for your loss. Michaela or “M” as I called her was and will always be loved. I am thankful to have called her my friend. She will be missed but never forgotten. Thanks for the Memories.
With Sympathy,
Gregory Sapp & Family
I heard this afternoon that Michaela had passed. She was a classmate at Christ The King grade school since 5th grade. She was a quiet grade school girl, that blossomed and grew into a beautiful young woman over the years. On the rare occasions that I visited with her at social get togethers, she never forgot me, and was always effervescent. I was sorry to hear that Michaela had passed. My condolences to you, her family.
Sincerely,
