Michele Maureen Schaeffer's Obituary
Remembering Michele Maureen Schaeffer
December 9th, 1965 – April 11th, 2026
Family was everything to Michele Maureen Schaeffer. Born to Charles and Rosa Bailey on December 9, 1965, in Birkenfeld, Germany, she learned early how love can hold people close even across oceans.
Michele loved her family fiercely and deeply. Friends often spoke of her strong moral charter, guided by a steady and unwavering compass.
She cherished nature and loved her family, and those twin passions colored every season of her life. Moving from Germany to Texas, she carried her steady moral compass with her wherever she went.
Tasked with carrying on her legacy is her son, Liam Schaeffer; daughter, Lauren Walsh; Mother, Rosa Bailey; her two sisters; a niece, and numerous nephews.
Michele’s life will be honored on May 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM at 4230 West Buckingham Road, Garland, Texas 75042. Family and friends are welcome to gather and share memories of the way her firm kindness shaped their own paths.
As we say goodbye, we hold tight to the simple truths she lived: stand firm in what is right and treasure those you love. Michele’s love remains our guide, just as sure and steady as ever.
