- Obituary:
Michelle Hamlin Grumbles, age 51, unexpectedly passed away at home in Stephenville, TX on November 27, 2019. Michelle was born on March 15, 1968 in Amarillo, TX.
Marrying her one true love, her life as a married woman took her on a great adventure of knowing little about country life to running the business end of a ranch. She was known to many as a tough woman who didn't back away from any challenge, but with the same hands gently nursed many friends and family members. As her family grew, she took the title of motherhood with great pride. She did all for her family. From Boy Scouts, to sports, endless amounts of homework, teaching basic life skills and all the challenges in raising fine, young men. As they grew, spending time with her dogs and traveling on the Harley with her husband brought her great joy. Just this summer, they checked off a bucket list item in traveling to South Dakota for the Sturgis Bike Rally. Moving into a dream home added another check to the bucket list and entertaining at an enormous dining table was a dream come true. She cherished the annual pilgrimage to the Camp Ben McCulloch to visit friends and family. In fact, she took a lot of time out of her days to speak with her families and friends. In every way, with everything she did, it was all and always for her families, near and far. With all the lives she touched, she left everlasting memories.
Proceeding her in death are her mother, Betty Maxfield; a brother, Terry Hopkins; an infant daughter, Misty Joy Grumbles; and father-in-law, Buddy Grumbles. Michelle is survived by her husband of 30 yrs., Richard Grumbles and their two sons, William Grumbles, and Justin Grumbles. She is also survived by her father Doug Hamlin, wife, Margret; stepfather Archie Maxfield; siblings Donna Glisson, husband, Alvin; Ruthie Sustaita, husband, George; brother Tony Maxfield, wife Stephanie; Robert Hamlin, wife Melinda; John Hamlin, wife Carole Benson; Staci Hamlin; mother-in-law, Carolyn Grumbles; sister-in-law Donna Grumbles; a multitude of nieces and nephews; and a lifetime of friends. Michelle was especially fond of her graduating class of 1986 at Arkansas High in Texarkana, TX.
