Michelle Syndergaard Buettner, of Shawano, passed away on Thursday, April 2, 2015, in Madison.
Michelle was born in Ames, Iowa, on Sept. 15, 1961, to John and Nancy (Olson) Syndergaard. She was united in marriage to Kurt Buettner on Jan. 22, 1994. Michelle graduated from Shawano High School and the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Michelle taught school at the Menominee Indian School District for many years.
