Michele was born to Russell and Diane (Ward) McClintock on December 6th, 1954 in Viroqua, WI and immediately brought joy and laughter into the world. She loved music and dancing from a young age. While growing up, Michele was a brownie and girl scout. Michele graduated from West Salem high school in 1973 and her love of music lead her to join the marching band where she played the flute. Michele went on to pursue an associate degree at Western Wisconsin Technical Institute, graduating in 1975. She pursued an additional associate degree at North Hennepin Community College and was an oncology data registrar until her retirement in 2016. In her free time Michele loved to spend time with family and friends, was an avid golfer, fished with her husband, liked to travel (especially to Florida over Christmas holiday), and enjoyed reading.

Michele was united in marriage, on July 31st, 1982, to Albert Czapski at Our Saviors Lutheran Church in West Salem, WI. They were happily married for 43 years. They have two children; Kelly (Dan) Reid and Kyle Czapski, and one grandchild; Lillian Reid.
