Salem - There are people who leave a mark because of what they accomplish, and there are those who leave a mark simply because of how they made others feel, Michele was the second kind.

Born and raised in Salem, NH, Michele spent her life building meaningful relationships and making those around her feel loved. Kindness was who she was.

Michele spent her career proudly managing the offices of Dr. Frank Bruno and Dr. William Edwards OBGYN. To the hundreds of women who walked through its doors, she was far from the office manager, she was a trusted friend, a calming presence and often the first set of heels they would hear. Her compassion was the fabric of the practice.

Outside of work, Michele loved rock n' roll, art, creativity and her friends and family. She celebrated every milestone and never missed an opportunity to make someone feel special.

Michele is survived by her loving husband of 20 years, Dr. William Edwards; daughter Heather Linehan and her husband Larry; her beloved grandchildren Dylan, Noelle and Naomi; her granddogs Teddy and George; her stepchildren Nicole Tinsley and her husband David, Renee Riitho and her husband Ken, Nathan Edwards and his wife Noriko; former husband Mark Brown and his wife Victoria; siblings Mike Todd and his wife Diane, Donna Dizazzo, Debbie Beaudreault and her husband Bob, and Jeff Todd and his wife Erin; sister-in-law Mary Todd; brother-in-law Kevin Walsh; many nieces, nephews, extended family and countless friends.

She is predeceased by her parents, William and Olive Todd; siblings William "Billy" Todd and Kathleen Walsh.

Friends and family are invited to calling hours on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, from 4 – 7PM at the Goundrey Dewhirst Funeral Home, 42 Main Street, Salem, NH. In keeping with Michele's vibrant spirit, we are asking guests to wear pastel colors. To leave an online message of condolence, please visit www.goundreydewhirstfuneral.com
