So sorry and sad to hear this way that Michelle has lost her life too soon, it was an honour to play her songs on my GhostRider Country Music Radio Shows here in the UK for Michelle Yvonne Jordan, age 54, of Branson, Missouri who passed away September 5th 2025. She entered this life on November 8, 1970 the daughter of Zonie Lollis in Dallas, Texas. Michelle was joined in marriage to Jeffrey Michael Sadie on October 9, 2017. Michelle demonstrated compassion and dedication in her caregiving roles, both as a home healthcare aide and in supporting friends and family. She was known as “Branson’s Little Tanya” and was incredible singer. Michelle’s song “Razor Blades and Whiskey” won the Josie Award for Song of the Year in 2015. Michelle was extremely gifted cook and had no reason to make things as good as she did, but she created all dishes with the same amount of deliciousness and love. Michelle was an amazing hardworking, caring, selfless woman, who was beautiful inside and out. The memories and moments will be cherished by all who knew her. Michelle is survived by her husband of eight years, Jeff Sadie of Branson, Missouri; daughter, Hannah (Noah Gonyea Mooneyham of Kauffman, Texas; son, Kyler Matthew Ivy of Texas; siblings: Lisa Holdren of Surfside Beach, Texas, Thomas Drunner of Washington, Randy Jochen of Salt Lake City, Utah, Vanessa Lucas of Ohio; several nieces, nephews, and other extended family members. She is also survived by her two cats: Sir Cat and Jazzy and close family friend, who introduced Jeff and Michelle, TexasDar Schmitz.
She is preceded in death by her mom, Zonie; late husband, James Ivy; and uncle, Roger.
And so in my tribute to Michelle Ivey Jordan I'm adding one of her and my favourite songs played on my The GhostRider Country Music Show listen to "She Doesn't Love Him That Way" RIP Michelle...🌹🙏
