She left college to begin a family with James Grover and raised three boys.

In her adult years Michelle earned her nursing degree and took great pleasure in caring for her patients while working in the intensive care unit at CMMC in Lewiston. She then worked in a doctor’s office at CMMC as a triage nurse. Michelle met Michael Veilleux of Auburn and her life was changed.
