Michelle was born to Charles and Dorothy (Regan) Lockie on July 16, 1945, in Riceville, Iowa.
She graduated from Osage High School in 1963 and Kirkwood Community College. On July 3, 1965, in Marion, she was married to Gary Hodina. They have resided in the Cedar Rapids and Marion area since 1964. Michelle worked for the Cedar Rapids School District and then Wellmark, where she retired in 2006.

She was a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister and grandmother, who always sought to make everyone happy and cared for. Seen by all as a very bright, capable woman, she gave of herself in a very humble and unassuming manner. Michelle was a loyal, accepting and nonjudgmental friend. She loved to read, enjoy the outdoors, and spend time with her family.

Michelles only remaining wish is to be remembered fondly. She will be missed by all.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Hospice of Mercy, 315 18th Avenue, Hiawatha 52233 or the local American Cancer Society, 603 10th Street S.E. Cedar Rapids 52403, in Michelles memory.
