Michelle Susanna Wingfield

Michelle Susanna Wingfield, of Morrilton, Arkansas, went to her eternal home on March 7, 2026, after a treasured 18 years of living. She was born on March 24, 2007, in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the daughter of Timothy and Marina Ring Wingfield. From the very beginning of her short life, Michelle was a light to all who knew her. Her life was marked not only by extraordinary talent but by strength, depth, and a quiet courage that humbled everyone who knew her. Michelle was a soul made of words and color. She lived to read and write, finding refuge and wonder in the power of story. At just 16 years old, she became a published author – a reflection of her brilliance, imagination, and determination. She did not simply read stories; she created worlds. Like her Creator, Michelle expressed her heart through art, filling pages and canvases with drawings and paintings that revealed the depth of her thoughtful spirit. She played piano and violin beautifully, and she found joy and confidence on stage through drama in Delta Junction, Alaska, bringing characters to life with passion and courage. Even in suffering, Michelle carried grace. Her eyes held wisdom beyond her years. Her presence softened rooms. In her weakest moments, she drew people closer to compassion, to faith, and to one another. Though her time here feels far too short, her life was full – full of creativity, perseverance, faith, and love. The impact of her life is eternal, not just for her but for many. She leaves behind a legacy and an example written not only in pages, paint, and performances, but also in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her. We entrust Michelle into the loving arms of God, believing she is now whole, free, and at peace. Michelle is forever our daughter. Forever our Michelle. Other than her parents, Michelle is survived by twin brothers: Jason and Alex Wingfield; sister: Mary Grace Wingfield; grandmother: Sue Wingfield; Oma and Opa: Anna and Alexander Ring; aunt: Tatjana Swisher; uncles: Sergej and Eugenia Ring, Mick and Janine Wingfield; cousins: Aaliyah, Jessica, and John; Godfather: Father Matthew Pawlikowski; Godmother: Cassandra Smith; and her dear best friend: Angelina Dimawea. The family will receive friends at 9:00 a.m., followed by a Rosary at 9:30 a.m., and then the Funeral Mass will be at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, March 14, 2026, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church with Father Stephen Hart officiating. Burial will be at Sacred Heart Cemetery.
