Michelle Maureen (Naddaff) Schoener

Michelle Maureen (Naddaff) Schoener, 61 years old, passed away on June 25, 2023, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on January 20, 1962, in West Roxbury, Michelle was the beloved daughter of Florence Major and Mitchell Naddaff. Michelle is survived by her adoring husband, John “Jack” Schoener, with whom she shared 34 years of marriage filled with love, laughter, and support.

Throughout her life, Michelle touched the lives of many with her kind heart and gentle spirit. She was a loving mother to two children; Julie Schoener of Newport Beach, California and John “Jack” Schoener of Foxboro. She adored her role as a mother and dedicated herself to nurturing and guiding her children.

Michelle was the loving niece of her three surviving aunts; Ethel Naddaff, Jeanne Handy, and Mary Naddaff. Michelle is also survived by her dear sister-in-law Shirley, brother-in-law Tom, and the nephew and nieces of the Houston Family. Michelle would include that she is survived by her “cousins by the dozens”

Michelle was a pillar of strength and support, offering unwavering love and care to her family and friends. Michelle cherished her many friends and embraced being a part of the Foxboro community for over 30 years. She was a devoted member of the Newcomers Club and the Gardening Club. She enjoyed attending fundraisers and game nights with her friends. Her enthusiasm and positivity were infectious and she brought smiles to the faces of everyone she encountered.

Michelle had an extraordinary ability to find happiness in life's simple pleasures. She found joy and solace in the beauty of nature and the love of animals. She possessed a deep appreciation for the natural world and its wonders. Whether she was tending to her beloved garden, going for outdoor walks, or simply watching birds in their natural habitat, her heart was always at peace in nature's embrace.

Her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her. Michelle leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and resilience. While we mourn her loss, we also celebrate the beautiful life she lived and the countless lives she touched.
