Michelle Quinn Buckley was born April 20, 1955 to Lillian and Daniel Buckley. She grew up in Arlington, MA with her three sisters, Bonnie Kuntz, Denise Bowser and Elin Kinder and two brothers, Robert Buckley and Edward Buckley. A natural caregiver and dedicated professional, she received her RN from Catherine Laboure School of Nursing, BSN from Saint Anselm College and her MSN from the University of New Hampshire.

Michelle will be remembered as having true compassion for her family and friends as well as her patients and those less fortunate. This compassion was demonstrated in her incredible work ethic paired with a quest for finding the joy in everyday life. She had the ability to inspire and motivate those around her, bringing light to any situation and instilling confidence in others to pursue their passions. Her smile and zest for life lives on in the hearts of those who knew her. She will be a guardian angel for her grandchildren.

A funeral Mass of Christian burial was celebrated on Saturday, January 26, 2013 at Saint Anselm College Abbey Church. Father Iain MacLellan, OSB officiated.
