Obituary

Michelle Lynn (Masters) Delay

June 10, 1965 - November 12, 2023

Michelle Lynn (Masters) Delay went peacefully home to Heaven, on Sunday, November 12, 2023, at home with her husband and family at her side. She was born in Lincoln, Nebraska on June 10, 1965, to Donald Masters and Virginia Prochaska.

Michelle attended Lincoln Public Schools until early high school.

She met Duane M. Delay Jr. in 1997 and they were married on October 11, 2001. They made their home in Lincoln Nebraska. Michelle was a loving caring wife and was a registered CNA and had devoted her life to helping home-bound people who needed assistance in their daily life. She was a loving, caring, outgoing woman and spent much of her adult life giving that care and love to those less fortunate than her. A large part of her life was invested in loving and helping her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was always providing the little special things we all take for granted and giving them to her family members. While she was not affiliated in any one church, she was a very spiritual person and she will surely be welcomed in Heaven, her eternal home.

Michelle was preceded in death by grandparents, parents Donald Masters, Virginia Prochaska, and her sister, Melissa Salazar.

Michelle is survived by her husband, Duane Jr., her 5 children (one granddaughter, Samantha, who she always called her 5th child), Amanda, Thomas, Victoria and Bruce, 15 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.

She will always be fondly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know her and love her.

Visitation will be held from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 16th at the Roper and Sons Midtown Chapel (4300 ‘O’ Street).

Funeral will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, November 17th at the Roper and Sons Midtown Chapel.

My grandma took care of my basically my whole childhood. she would take care of me and my siblings every day. She was my mom when my mom was to busy working hard for her family. But the bond we created in the times we had together were the best moments of my life . I would always be so happy to see my grandma right in the morning before I would go to school. And I always took that for granted. She would do anything for me. Anytime I needed anything my grandma would already be on the way getting it. Every time I was struggling , every time I wasn’t okay and she knew she would be there . She would be there for anyone. I never understood why I would get so sad when I couldn’t see my grandma, but now that all I have left is memories, it’s so much worse. I remember this one time she brought me some money for the mall, and then told me when I drive I’m going to be driving her around when shes too old. This year, I am old enough to drive and I can’t believe my grandma wont be here, ever again. I miss you so much grandma. I wish you could still be here so bad. So we could finish making the memories we planned on making. I love you so much grandma. I hope heaven is treating you well. I love you so much and you will forever be in my heart and prayers.

I am Ayendae masters, her 10-year-old grandchild that shared so many memories together. I remember when I was little, me and her would cuddle on the couch. i would fall asleep, wake up, and she would be gone. I would cry and beg for her to come back, so I could say bye. we would also watch her car drive away from our street. Grandma, I love you. so, so much. and I hope you have such a peaceful life in heaven, and I miss you.

Michelle and my favorite thing to do during Covid, was to drive through Amigos and get nacho’s — she loved them! When she was sick, she always wanted to get them again but we weren’t able to do it. I know that it was a favorite memory for her, though. And I miss her so much.

She was the best person ever and I wish that she was still here with us. I would do anything to see her just one more time. I miss her and love her so, so much. I hope she peacefully resides in heaven and I hope to meet up with her one day. I love her so much and she will always stay in a place in my heart. Every Christmas we would go to her house and put up the Christmas tree and then put up all the candy canes and then we would get to eat some candy canes and then unwrap our presents. We would also bake Christmas cookies. This is a memory that I will never forget and I cherish every single moment with her. Again, I love her so, so much. Have a good life in heaven. And I will forever miss her.
