Michelle was born June 7, 1975, in Essex, Massachusetts to John F. and Sharon Yvonne  (Sharp) Graupner.  She was a graduate of Riesel High School.   On April 15, 2014, Michelle and Bryan Jenkins came to be as one.  They came to be best friends, husband and wife, and parents.  Michelle is one that loved life.  She loved her children and had her happiest moments being their mother.  Often times she shared her adventures big or small in many pictures that we now have to remind us of her memory.  Michelle mastered the ideal woman she was meant to be.  Michelle had many blessings and was grateful for them all.  She loved all who were a part of her life and she touched many.  Michelle loved the Lord and always believed that whatever was lost the Lord would restore tenfold.  What a faithful servant she was because it was given back one hundred fold.  Michelle was strong and willful, as a mother, wife, sister, aunt, and friend.  She will be truly missed.

Survivors include her husband Bryan Jenkins, children:  Sean Ryan, Bryan Carson, Mathew Lee, Sara Grace, Vala Corin and siblings:  Marvin Sharp and his wife Patricia of Waco, Kimberly Brown and her husband Scott of Bellmead, Shawn Graupner of Riesel, Pam Hill of Mart; many nieces and nephews.
