Michelle was born on July 6, 1974 in Sioux City, the daughter of Michael and Renee (Walch) Jensen. She was a 1993 graduate of West High School. On June 11, 1993, Michelle was united in marriage to Bradley Kukuk.

Michelle enjoyed her work in sales, which included scholastic books to area schools, knowing that for the youth, reading was one of the most important aspects to their road to success. She was very creative in everything she touched. Her amateur photographs could rival the professionals, and she was a careful planner, whether for events or in marketing.

Michelle was a member of the Heartland Baptist Church, active on many projects, especially the Outreach Team.

Michelle is survived by her husband Brad, sons Lucas and Isaac, and daughters Samantha and Gabriella, grandson Everley Kukuk, her father Michael Jensen and her mother Renee Jensen, brother Sonny Jensen and sister Yevette Downs.

She was preceded in death by her step-brother Stephen Downs.
