Michelle Margaret DuRen

Michelle Margaret DuRen, 46, of Lake City, died unexpectedly on Monday, Feb. 28, 2022 at her home.  She was born November 28, 1975, in Red Wing, to John and Margaret (Wedde) DuRen.  She grew up and attended school in Red Wing, Class of 1994.  She had two sons, Eric and Ronald.  For many years, she worked as a bartender in the area, always friendly and smiling.  She was a caregiver in many aspects of her life, not only for family but as an LPN and CNA.  Michelle was a huge MN Vikings fan, and she and her life-long partner of 12 years, Mark, loved their “football Sundays” together.  Camping and attending WE Fest were always a hi-light for Michelle and something she looked forward to.  She was also blessed to be a grandma and loved her grandson.
