Michelle Renee (Primo) Cronin, 57, of Monaca, passed away on the morning of July 8th, 2026 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Michelle was a lifelong resident of Monaca and graduated from Monaca High School, where she met the love of her life, Daniel (Dan) Cronin, whom she loved dearly for 38 years. Everyone who knew her knew that she always had a caring heart and strong faith.
