    I am so sad to hear that Michele has passed. I worked with this gentle lady in Brandywine School District and to say she was the ultimate professional would be an understatement..She frequently went above and beyond to make sure children and parents felt understood and cared for. I miss you and our frequent chats my dear friend.

    I remember our breakfasts with the YMCA. I remember every time I visited Michele at home. I remember sitting at the dining room table. Michele was such a thoughtful, kind and considerate person, we have lost an Angel, but she is watching from above with Jesus. I am sorry for Randy, Katie, Angela, Tony and Marie. Rest in peace Michele.

    I believe Michele was one of the most loving people on the planet. She would do whatever she could to help a friend or anyone in need. When one mom from our mother's group online was having a baby, Michele sensed it would be a big help to send two weeks worth of breakfasts, lunches and dinners delivered to that mom's house by starting a sign-up chain. We all participated and felt good for having done so. She had a real way with connecting because of her caring nature. I won't forget her. She treasured her family so much!!! We are lucky to have known her here. An angel on earth perhaps.

    I remember Michele fondly. As her former Italian teacher, at Padua Academy, I always thought of her as a lovely student who made a very positive impression. I also recall her passion for running on the track team. My condolences to the entire Socorso family.

    Michele and I were colleagues in the Brandywine School District, and she had the most kind and gentle spirit and always wore a smile. I loved our weekly talks and appreciate her words of wisdom…she showed so much care for others, and she impacted so, so many in the community. Michele, you are missed. Tami

    To my little Michelle. The girl I loved to babysit. The girl that always made me smile. The girl that spent her childhood giggling and being one of my three favorite people. The person I’ve missed since she became an adult but the person I never stopped loving.
