Michaela Buckholt

Michaela Louise "Mickey Lou" "Mouse" Buckholt, age 27, passed away on March 16, 2023, receiving her wings alongside her cousins, Justin, and Chelsea Poole, as a result of a tragic automobile accident. Michaela was born to Joe and Katherine "Katie" (Roemer) Buckholt, on June 4, 1995, in Yakima, Washington.

Michaela grew up in Yakima and attended West Valley schools.

Michaela was the light of every room that she walked into. Michaela was confident and fearless. She cared for everyone, and there was not a person or animal that she did not want to help. She would give the shirt off her back to anyone in need. Michaela loved every animal, especially horses. She fostered many animals, no matter what kind.

She loved spending time with her family and friends. Some favorite memories are the family trips to Disneyland and Disneyworld, the Oregon Coast, and Montana. It was her dream to live in Montana and raise horses.
