Michelle Langston Bancroft (January 22, 1981 - May 18, 2009) Sign Guest Book
We say good bye to a loving Mother, Wife, Daughter and Friend as Michelle has been called back to the loving arms of her Heavenly Father. Michelle succumbed to a three year long courageous battle with cancer. Michelle fought a hard fight without complaining or asking why she was forced to go through any of the pain and suffering that she endured. She was born on January 22, 1981 in Salt Lake City and she passed away on May 18, 2009 in Saratoga Springs.
She is survived by her devoted husband, three young children, mother, father, brother and sister along with several nieces and nephews. Michelle touched the lives of so many throughout the country as many read about her struggles and triumphs on her blog. Although leaving a void in our lives she will never be forgotten as we know we are joined with her together for eternity. Our sincerest heartfelt thanks goes out to the staff of many Doctors and nurses that provided her such incredible care at Huntsman cancer institute through several surgeries and treatments.
Michelle’s family asks that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to an account in her name at Zion’s First National Bank where half will be contributed to her children and the other half to a cancer foundation in her name. Memorial services will be as follows:
Funeral services will be held Thursday, May 21, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. at the Saratoga Springs Stake Center, 587 South Saratoga Road. Family and friends may call Wednesday, May 20, 2009 from 6-8:00 p.m. at Wing Mortuary, 118 East Main, Lehi and Thursday morning from 9:30-10:30 a.m. at the Stake Center. Interment, Lehi City Cemetery. Online guest book at wingmortuary.com.

Justin,
My name is Karen - Melissa Calder's mom. We do not know each other but yet I have felt such a strong need to tell you that you and Michelle have touched my life. I cannot even begin to comprehend the pain you both endured (albeit in such different ways) and will continue to pray for you and your precious children. What a beautiful, loving and courageous women to have had touched so many lives in such a short time.
What an amazingly emotional and beautiful tribute to Michelle. I've never seen an audience with so many people sobbing at one time. You did an incredible job speaking, Justin. That had to be the hardest talk you will ever have to give and you really did an amazing job! Please take comfort in knowing that we are there for you. We love you.
Justin, I had noticed on facebook that a lot of my old friends were mentioning Michelle and one posted your blog. As I was reading about your sweet wife and how much you love her. I saw your picture and put the two and two together. I just keep thinking of you and your babies. Michelle is beautiful and your amazing. I am so SORRY!!!! Your in my prayers!!! Jennifer Hollingshead
