Michelle "Mikey Souza" DeKam

In Loving Memory of Mikey Souza
February 26, 1982 – May 29, 2026

With heavy hearts and countless cherished memories, we announce the passing of Mikey Souza, who left this world on May 29, 2026, at the age of 44.

Mikey made her home in Lake Camanche, California, a place that perfectly matched her spirit. If she wasn't tending to her plants, you could often find her out on the lake fishing, kayaking, or simply soaking in the beauty of the water she loved so much. The lake wasn't just where she lived, it was where she felt most at peace.

Mikey had a gift for making people laugh, often when they needed it most. She had a stubborn streak, a big heart, and a way of speaking her mind that left little room for guessing what she was thinking. She loved fiercely, laughed loudly, and lived life on her own terms.

More than anything, Mikey treasured time with the people she loved. Her greatest joy was being with her daughter, Madison, and sharing life with her love, Scott. She was a devoted mother, a beloved daughter, sister, and friend whose presence brought warmth, honesty, and plenty of unforgettable stories to those around her.

Mikey is survived by her parents, Donna and Ken Thomas; her sister, Jennifer Ollis; her brother, Kenny Thomas; her daughter, Madison Woodcock; her son, Jadon Woodcock; and many other family members and friends who will carry her memory forward.

While our hearts ache in her absence, we take comfort in imagining Mikey where she would want to be: on a calm lake at sunrise, fishing pole in hand, surrounded by nature, probably reminding us all that we were doing it wrong.

She was the kind of person who left ripples everywhere she went, just like the lake she loved. Her kindness, humor, strength, and love touched countless lives, and those ripples will continue long after her passing through the family, friends, and memories she leaves behind.

Mikey's love, laughter, strength, and spirit will remain with us forever. Though she has left our sight, she will never leave our hearts.

Forever loved. Forever remembered. 

Cherokee Memorial is honored to serve Mikey’s  family.
