Michelle Drury-Floran "Shell"

February 10, 1967 - February 18, 2021

Michelle “Shell” Drury-Floran, 54, passed away on February 18, 2021 at Geauga Medical Center in Chardon, OH. She was born on February 10, 1967 in Willoughby, OH. Michelle was a long-time resident of Willowick, OH where she spent her childhood, had a family of her own, and dedicated the majority of her adult life to giving back to the community. Michelle will be remembered by many for her devotion to education and for the impact that she made as a teacher at Royalview Elementary School. She was passionate about reading and learning, and she poured her heart into the task of fostering those same passions in her students. One of Michelle’s favorite quotes was, “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think,” a sentiment that she often shared with her daughters and her students, and would want all whom she loved to remember. 

Michelle “Shell” is survived by her parents, James (Diana) Drury and Kathleen Ritter (nee Cochran); her brother, Michael (Heather) Drury; her daughters, Marissa (Nathan) Rawlins and Meghan Floran.  She also leaves behind many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.

In honoring Michelle’s wishes, there will be no public services. The family will hold a private memorial service on a later date.   The family suggests donations be made to your favorite charity or through performing acts of kindness in Michelle’s memory.  May you find comfort in the last line of the A.A. Milne’s quote, “even if we’re apart… I’ll always be with you.”
