Michelle Marie Wagner Cedoz

Michelle Marie Wagner (Cedoz), age 42, was born on February 2, 1983, in Duval County, Florida, and passed away on July 15, 2025.

To know Michelle was to feel the warmth of her smile, the comfort of her laughter, and the light she brought into every room. She had a rare gift — the ability to make anyone feel like family. Her spirit was vibrant, her humor unforgettable, and her kindness ever-present.

Michelle was a devoted and proud mother to three beautiful children: her sons, Nicholas and Hunter, and her daughter, Melissa. She loved them with all her heart, and they were the center of her world. She was also the beloved daughter of Darlene Marie Wagner, her closest confidante and biggest supporter. As the only girl among her brothers, Joey and Billy, Michelle embraced her role with grace, grit, and endless love.

Throughout her life, Michelle worked in many places, but it wasn’t just the jobs — it was the people. Her compassion, humor, and loyalty left a mark everywhere she went. Among those closest to her was Crystal, her soul sister and coworker at Texas Title Connection. Their bond was deeper than work — it was a sisterhood forged in laughter and love. She also held dear friendships with Mama Parker and Lisa, just a few of the many hearts she touched along the way.

Michelle had a deep and abiding love for animals, especially her dogs, Princess and Chico — Chico being her “favorite boy.” Sunflowers were her favorite, and it’s no wonder: they mirrored her radiant spirit, her resilience, and her ability to turn toward the lord even in hard times.

Her father is  William Wagner. She leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and poetic symmetry — just as she was raised with two brothers, she, too, raised two sons and a daughter of her own.

Michelle will be cremated, as she wished, and while her physical presence may be gone, her essence lives on — in every shared memory, every sunflower in bloom, and every laugh that echoes her joy.

To know Michelle was to be forever changed by her. And though we grieve, we also give thanks — for the time we had, for the love she gave, and for the light she leaves behind in all of us.
