Michelle Maree Lord

August 25, 1968 ~ April 17, 2024
Resided in:
Oakton, VA
Michelle Maree Lord (Age 55) passed away on April 17, 2024 due to complications following surgery. Michelle was born in Vienna, VA to Colette and Charles Lord. She is survived by her 6 older siblings, Deborah Bloom of Boiling Springs SC, Andrew Lord of Frederick MD, Stephen Lord of McLean, VA, Sarah Redfield of Montgomery TX, Carolyn Betz of Boiling Springs SC, and Nancy Davis of Vienna VA and many nieces and nephews.
Michelle grew up in Vienna, VA and moved with her family to Hong Kong from 1973 to 1976 and Jakarta, Indonesia from 1983 to 1985. Michelle enjoyed these overseas postings as it allowed her to explore new places and try different types of cuisine with her mom and dad who were real foodies. Michelle graduated from James Madison High School in Vienna, Va. in June 1989. This was an issue for fun family competition because most of the other siblings graduated from the rival school, Oakton High School. Michelle made friends wherever she went and was not shy. Whenever a new family moved into her neighborhood, she was the first one to knock on their door and welcome them with a plate of cookies and introduce herself. She loved helping other people and especially enjoyed her time as a candy striper at Fairfax Hospital. She also volunteered at St. Marks, Sunrise Senior Living, and the Oakton Public Library. Michelle was a kind and spiritual person with a strong love for God, her church, and her family.

I am going to miss you little sis. I have no words, you were so kind and faithful, I love you! ❤️
I have memories of Michelle from my childhood, and it seems that the same Michelle I remember as a young girl is who she grew into as a woman. She was funny and happy and always made you feel welcomed and noticed. I laugh when I remember that strong willed, confident young girl snapping her fingers at Pat Burns and Mark Nicely with a little warning, “Watch it, buddy oh.” Michelle was a spark of light and a ray of sunshine who brightened the room and brought joy wherever she went. Her big sister, Nancy, had a protective heart for her baby sister and always watched over her and made sure she was seen, heard, respected, and included – although I’m pretty sure Michelle was capable of taking care of herself. My heart goes out to the Lord family, as I know this was a great loss for you all. My prayers continue for you, asking the Lord to comfort your grieving hearts and to call to your minds those memories that, while they bring tears now, will one day bring smiles of thanksgiving and fill your hearts with laughter.
I’m going to miss my “bratty little sister”. Love you
Michelle was my sister in law. She lived her life every day. She was very social and loved to talk to everyone. She had a great sense of humor. And she loved to spend time with little children and the elderly. We will all miss this little mighty mite.
