Michelle Lynn Beach, born Michelle Lynn Baker, passed away on August 24, 2026, in Phillipsburg, Kansas. She was born on May 8, 1965, in Reno County, Kansas.

Michelle will be remembered for the warmth she shared with others in everyday life. She loved being in the kitchen, and many people in the area were blessed by the treats she made and generously shared. She also enjoyed traveling with her husband, Chris, and the two of them loved cruisin' around town together. Michelle usually insisted on being the one behind the wheel, a detail that those who knew and loved her will remember with a smile. For many years, she was also Chris’ fishing partner, and the time they spent together on the water was an important part of their life.

She is also survived by her half-brother, Pancho Camacena of Oklahoma; her half-sister's, June Craig of Grand Island, NE and Christina of Lyons, KS; her nephew, Brandon Navarro and Niece, Valari Navarro, both of Lyons, KS; and her step-father, Tony Camacena of Oklahoma.

Michelle was preceded in death by her father, Bill Baker, her mother, Lupe Camacena, and brother, Robert Navarro.

Michelle’s life was marked by the simple joys she loved most: time in the kitchen, time on the road, and time spent with the people closest to her. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her family and friends.
