Born November 12, 1966, at Grand Forks Air Force Base in ND, Michele was the cherished daughter of Michael and Rosemary (née Kroll) Jett. On October 3, 1992, Michele married Troy Scholes at St. Lawrence Catholic Church in South Wilmington. Their marriage was blessed with many years together, and she remained deeply devoted to Troy and their family throughout her life. Michele worked as an accountant at First National Bank in Wilmington before choosing to stay home and raise her children, a role that brought her the greatest joy. In later years, she also worked at Marketti’s. She gave much of her time to her community, volunteering with the South Wilmington Grade School Parents Group, Gardner-South Wilmington High School, and as a church money counter. She enjoyed live music, line dancing, and was a member of the South Wilmington Fireman’s Club. Michele will be remembered as a kind and caring woman whose greatest devotion was to her family, and whose generosity of spirit extended to her friends, church, and community. Michele is survived by her husband, Troy; her mother, Rosemary Jett of South Wilmington; her son, Justin Jett of WY; her daughter, Samantha (Taylor) Treamer of South Wilmington, IL; her grandchildren, Zoey Jett, Kaysen Schneider, and Charlotte Treamer; her sister, Melissa Jett of South Wilmington; and her brother, Christopher (Jenny) Jett of South Wilmington.
