Michelle was born October 16, 1964, in Stuart, Florida, to Kenneth and Frances Danley Archer. She attended Martin County schools before earning her paralegal degree.

Michelle met Howard “Buddy” Googe when their career paths crossed, and from that moment, she became the absolute center of his life. She was truly his best friend, sharing a deep love, friendship, and companionship that remained at the heart of their life together.

Michelle embraced life fully, finding happiness in the people, places, and experiences she encountered along the way.
