The family of Michelle Lynn DeCristofaro (affectionately known as Mimi and Sis) is saddened to announce the passing of our beloved Angel on Earth on Saturday, March 26, 2022 at the age of 35. Michelle was born at Prince William Hospital to parents Tim and Lisa DeCristofaro (Ballard) on November 2, 1986.

Michelle is the oldest of 5 children, and being the only girl, developed a nurturing and loving personality early on in childhood.  In tenth grade, Michelle decided to end her school years from Colonial Beach High School to give her brothers more attention – she left her childhood behind and stepped into a more maternal role for them.  While this doting sister looked over her siblings, she developed a strong-willed mindset to raise wonderful men and to give them a life they deserved.  As she refused to put her own dreams on hold, she worked hard to receive her GED and pushed herself even further to get her Cosmetology License. Having this license allowed her to follow her dream of becoming a hair stylist, and she has built an exceptional following of adoring clientele.

Michelle was known for the unconditional love she gave to all, an unmatched sense of humor, the ability to gracefully speak truths, and a genuine vibe that allowed her to create loyal and lasting relationships.

She will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Justin Newman; her 3 boys, DayShawn Haley (13), Tyreal “Teazy” Davis (12), and Savion Terrell (6); her father and step-mother, Tim and Andrea DeCristofaro; her mother and step-father, Lisa and Mike Wolf; her brothers and sisters-in-law, TJ & Jillian, Justin & Genesis,  Pat & Roxanne, Gage & Nicole, Bobby & Cheyenne; 19 nieces and nephews; and countless aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends, including those with whom she worked in the stylist community.

A Celebration of Life is scheduled for Saturday, April 9^th from 4 pm to 9 pm at the Strasburg Moose Lodge (572 Red Bud Road, Strasburg VA). Family and friends are welcome to convene to celebrate our beloved Mimi/Sis.
