It is with great sorrow that the family of Michelle “Chelle” Jeannine (Davidson) Tamayo, age 44, announces her passing on June 22, 2022, at her home in Rudd, Iowa.

Visitation with Michelle’s family will be held from 9:30-11:00 a.m. prior to the service.

Michelle was born in Iowa City on October 14, 1977, to Stephen Davidson and Kim (Bluhm) Weber. Michelle was the second born of four children in her family. Music and Drama were some of her favorite activities, with choir, band (securing 1st chair Baritone throughout her High School band career) and show choir keeping her busy. After graduating from Charles City Community High School in 1996, she continued her academic career by attending Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls, Iowa, attaining first her LPN and then her RN certification in 2008.
Michelle began to practice nursing which included geriatrics, pediatrics, and home health care after her graduation. She expanded her professional career across many venues. Michelle blessed many lives in her career that was cut short due to her physical limitations.
Michelle had a great love for helping and caring for others, and she extended this love beyond her patients to her many nieces and nephews who referred to her as “Aunt Chelle Belle”. She also had a great love for animals, and adopted several “Fur Babies” throughout her life. Michelle will always be remembered for her infectious laugh, and her unique sense of humor. She also had a great love of music and could always name the artist and song title just from the first few chords of any song she knew.
Michelle was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, James and Jeannine (Dickhoff) Bluhm; brother, Stephen “Buddy” Davidson; step-grandmother, Lena (McClure) Bluhm; step-uncles: Chuck McClure and Jack McClure; paternal grandparents, Fred and Betty (Inman) Davidson; paternal uncle, Keith Davidson; and father, Stephen Davidson.
