Michelle Mator Obituary

Michelle Renee Mator was born Oct. 31, 1963, and passed on Sept. 18, 2025, at the age of 61, due to a stroke. She is survived by her children, Joshua (Hana) Mator and Adam Mator; and siblings, John (Debra) Mator II, Beth (Victor) Lopez, and Kimberly (Chad) Baker. Michelle was preceded in death by her son, Matthew, in infancy; parents, John Mator and Dorothy (McCutcheon) Mator; and siblings, Elizabeth Rose, Christopher, and Mark, all in infancy, and Randall Mator. Michelle was a helpful, caring, and loving person who liked making sure her friends had everything they needed. As a child, she loved ballet and tap dance, as well as spending time at the family business, Melwood Pool. She enjoyed making people happy, smiling, singing, walking, thrifting and going shopping, crafting, gardening, feeding the birds, and going to church. She loved her houseplants, fish, and the stray cats in her neighborhood that she cared deeply for and would help socialize so they could find homes. She was always eager to lend a hand, see who needed help, and assist in every way she could. She remained inquisitive and helpful her whole life. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends at their camp, helping her friends and neighbors, and being active in her community. She was a loving and caring person who will be deeply missed. Viewing will be from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday in ROSS G. WALKER FUNERAL HOME LTD., 217 Freeport Road, New Kensington, where a service will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday by Pastor Brian Baker.
