Obituary
Michelle Elizabeth Demik (nee Serge), passed away on July 3, 2022 at the age of 71. She was surrounded by her loving family at home, which is exactly what she wanted.

The daughter of Carmen and Julie Serge, Michelle was born on Friday, October 13, 1950, in Chicago, with one older brother (Tony) and soon to be two younger twin brothers (Dominic and Danny). These were her “babies” as she proudly told her class at the age of four. Michelle shared a unique and very close bond with each one of her brothers, which only grew stronger with time. Although not by blood, Michelle had a sister-at-heart in Barbara Todd. Their friendship started in second grade and they never looked back.

On August 2, 1981, she married Paul George Demik. Along with becoming a wife, she became a mother to Paul George Demik, Jr. Three years later, Paul and Michelle had a daughter, Nicole Giulietta. Paul and Michelle celebrated their 40th anniversary in August 2021. Although this anniversary fell in the middle of her treatment, they were able to celebrate with a memorable dinner out with their children.

Michelle was an exceptional daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, godmother, cousin, aunt and friend. She was always just a phone call away for anyone who needed her. She was quick to throw an antipasto tray together when anyone walked through her door and known to cook pasta and meatballs at 3 am on occasion. Michelle was also known as a “second-mother” to many. Her generosity with her love and time was endless. This is only one of the many remarkable traits that were evident to all who knew her. Her absence will be felt deeply by so many of those lives she touched.

She is survived by her husband Paul Demik, her son Paul Demik, Jr. (Stephanie), her daughter Nicole, and her grandsons Josh, Caden, Jacob, Lorenzo and Liam. She is also survived by her brothers Tony Serge, Dominic Sergi (JoAnn) and Daniel Sergi (Barbara), her many nephews and nieces, great-nephews and great-nieces, cousins and godchildren, Beth Ciarrachi (Ben) and Jennifer Gusilatar (Tony).

Michelle was preceded in death by many, many loved ones including her parents, Carmen and Julie, her godson, Nicholas D. Sergi, godmother, Kay Iovinelli, and “second mother”/aunt, Angie Rieskis. A wake will be held on Thursday, July 7, 2022 from 3:00 to 8:00 pm at Yurs Funeral Home, St. Charles. The funeral services will be private.

Flowers are appreciated or donations can be made in her name to the American Cancer Society.
