Michele considers herself fortunate to be retired. Her favorite ways to spend her time are traveling, watching travel shows, reading, and knitting/crocheting. She loves spending time with her dad and her daughter and her daughter’s family, who all live in Spokane. She also enjoys puttering around in the garden and has joined the Friends of Manito Park.

Michele was a member of this church 18 years ago; before moving to Vancouver, WA with her husband Jim Templeton. THey moved back to Spokane to be near family after Jim’s ALS diagnosis. Jim sadly passed away last June. They both loved being back in Spokane with friends and family. Michele is enjoying her involvement with this church; the women’s book club and being on the membership committee.
