Pennsylvania Woman Loses Wedding Rings Passed Down from Deceased Mom

Michelle Servey- Purcell thought she would have a regular night out last weekend but it quickly went awry when she lost her symbolic wedding rings passed down by her mother.

Michelle and Steve Purcell Jr. were married this past Memorial Day Weekend.

“It was 85 degrees, sunny, and a little humid. It was perfect. I could not pick one bad thing out about the wedding. It was barbecue style, 75 people, and I could have not imagined a better day,” Michelle said.

Her husband is an army veteran and just finished school to become a Philadelphia firefighter. The only things missing from this love story are Michelle's two wedding rings.

Michelle remembers losing them at the bathroom sink around 10:30 p.m. inside Via Marconi's Sports Bar and Pizza Pub in Hatfield, Pennsylvania on June 25.

Her rings were passed down from her mother who passed away when she was seven years old.

“I’ll do anything to get them back. Those rings are the only thing I have left of my mom’s. They are priceless and sentimental to my family. I can’t find them and I feel hopeless,” Michelle said.

Breaking the news to her dad that she had lost the rings was also extremely difficult.

“He was heartbroken," she said. "My husband told me I was being hard on myself but I am just devastated. I can’t even look at wedding photos because I have the rings on in the photos."

Purcell has since made fliers, Facebook posts, and filed a report with the Hatfield Police Department.
