Knorr, Pauline (Michaele) of Howell passed away peacefully on September 21st at the age of 68, surrounded by family and loved ones. A resident of Howell for 50+ years, she was born in Detroit on October 13th, 1955, to the late Mike (Denise) Gonzales and Deloris (Jim) Gillespie. Loving mother of Samuel (Cari) of Grand Blanc and grandmother to Rowan, sibling to Ted (Evelyn), Tammy (Dan), Frank (Judi), Sharon and Joe, and aunt to many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her loving husband Norbert and daughter Raimee, her parents, Mike and Deloris, twin brother Michael Gonzales, and sister Deesa (Fredo) Guiterrez. Michaele worked as a custodian at Howell Public Schools for 15+ years. She was always the life of any party, lovingly referred to by many of her friends as "Mikey". She loved spending time at the drag strip with Norbert, racing their classic muscle cars. A viewing will be held at Watkins Brothers Funeral Home MacDonald Chapel in Howell from 3 PM to 8 PM on Wednesday September 25th, and a funeral service will be held there the following day at 11am (in state 10-11am). Internment will be at the Howell Memorial Cemetery. Memorial Contributions may be made to the American Diabetes Association.
