Publish in a newspaper
Mickey was a kind, compassionate, and very independent person that loved her rabbit, Leslie; had a passion for horses; enjoyed playing guitar & piano; climbing trees, mountains, boulders, caving and performing aerial silks. She had many other interests & hobbies, including blacksmithing, leatherwork, sketching, taking pictures and many other crafts. Mickey loved the mountains - especially in Colorado and North Carolina.
Mickey graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Sometimes her jobs involved engineering, sometimes they did not. She was currently employed by Enerdyne Power Systems Inc., which gave her great support as she fought her battle against cancer.
Mickey is survived by her parents, Mark & Mimi, three brothers: Jordan (Amanda), Bradley (Emily), Lawrence and four sisters: Faith (John) Fischer, Lydia, Christina, and Audra; both grandmothers, many aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and a niece.
