Michele J. (Lively) Davis (1970 – 2026)
Michele J. (Lively) Davis, 55, of Bethlehem Township, passed away peacefully on Friday, Sept. 11, 2026, at her residence. She was the beloved wife of Richard Davis, with whom she shared 31 wonderful years of marriage last Sept. 24. Born in Bethlehem on Dec. 28, 1970, Michele was the cherished daughter of Barbara J. (Donchez) Gombocz and the late Mark Lively. Michele dedicated her career to healthcare, working as a dedicated Medical Technologist at Sacred Heart Hospital starting in 1993, and most recently serving at St. Luke’s Hospital-Anderson Campus. Outside of her professional life, Michele loved the energy of live rock concerts and enjoyed spending time at the beach. Her greatest joy, however, was her family and the time spent creating memories with those she loved.
