Michele Faith Hallinan

Michele Chrisman Hallinan left this world for Heaven on April 17, 2026. She passed away surrounded by her family. Michele was born in Cheektowaga, NY on Aug. 2, 1968, the daughter of Bruce M. and Faith H. Chrisman.

Michele was a wonderful and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, who always treated others with respect and kindness. She fought a very brave battle with multiple sclerosis for many years, and an even tougher battle with cancer for several months.

She worked for many years for Concentra, where she made several close friends.

Michele is survived by her husband, Shane Hallinan, her parents, Bruce and Kathrina Chrisman, her children, Joshua Smith, Justin (Carley) Smith, and Taylor Hallinan. She is also survived by her sisters, Kim Shepherd (Joe Lebro) and Laura (Daniel) Hahn, and by her brothers, Steve (Patti) Chrisman, Bill (Misty) Chrisman, and Kenny (Betsy) Chrisman, and by special friends, Julia and Todd King.  She leaves five grandchildren and many cousins, nephews and nieces, who cherish their memories of her.

She was preceded by her mother, her Chrisman grandparents, her Hampton grandparents, and her Uncle Bill.

We’re very thankful for the years which we had with her, but are devastated by losing her much too soon.
