Dara Michael Obituary
In loving memory of Dara Michael in Clarkston, Michigan, born in Louisville, Kentucky, who departed this world on March 24, 2026 at the age of 62. Dara leaves behind a legacy remembered by family and friends. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As Dara departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Dara may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Dara leaves behind.
She is survived by: her daughters, Stephanie Hembree (Ken) and Ashley Audra; her siblings, Liza Congdon (Dan), Erin Dunn, Tina Adamse and James Dunn (Kate); and her grandchildren, Austin, Savannah, Chase, Greyson and Theo. She is also survived by step-siblings, nieces, nephews, and friends.
