Tiffany Modic Obituary

Tiffany Culy Modic, age 28, died on September 14, 2008, after a seven month wait for a second liver transplant that never came. Her loving family was at her side. Cremation has taken place and a private memorial service was held Wednesday, September 17, 2008, on a mountain near Phoenix, AZ where she and her husband were married. Born on January 28, 1980, Tiffany moved to Saline, MI with her family in 1988, where she graduated from high school in 1998. A victim of Wilson's Disease, Tiffany narrowly escaped death in 1997 when a generous family provided "the gift of life" and her first liver transplant was performed. Upon recovery and enjoying good health, she moved to Phoenix, AZ in 1999, where she attended Arizona State University. Until February of this year, Tiffany was an Accounting Coordinator in HR at Wild Oats. She met her husband, Clayton Modic, in 2002, and they have two precious children, Malaya Marie, age three, and Kai David, age one. She is survived by Clay, Malaya and Kai, her father, David Culy (Rhonda Mathis) of Houston, TX, her sister, Jessica (Mike) Comfort, of Los Angeles, CA, her brother, Craig Culy (Jennifer Arn) of Phoenix, AZ, mother-in-law Maria Modic of Phoenix, AZ, parental-in-laws Chris and Gwen Modic of Fontana, CA, grandparents Dave and Linda Peters of Portland, IN, and many close friends, including Tara Kantner Mahoney of Ypsilanti, MI, Mia Ratkiewicz of Phoenix, AZ, and Beth Jeryc of Ann Arbor, MI. A devoted wife, loving mother, affectionate daughter, loving sister and loyal friend, Tiffany was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. Lost to us much too soon, she will be mourned and missed by many, and forever in our hearts. In memory of Tiffany, her family urges everyone to register as an organ donor (www.organdonor.gov) cremation has already taken place

I first met Tiffany at WVCCC when I was a supervisor and she began in House 5. It is no surprise that she eventually became a supervisor. In a short amount of time, she gained the admiration and respect of all her co-workers. She was amazing with the children she worked with and constantly showed them the safety, nurturing, caring and love they truly needed. She was full of life and full of fight, beating the odds with not only her first liver transplant but her two beautiful children. Thank you for the great memories Tiffany, you will be missed but never forgotten. My prayers go out to your family…..

My thoughts and prayers are with Tiffany's family, friends and loved ones. She was one of my sisters dearest friends and I pray that as she finds peace, her family will continue to find comfort in the wonderful memories. I encourage all to write down and share their wonderful stories/memories of Tiffany so that her beautiful children will be able to reflect on them in years to come. I was so sad to hear of her passing, and will daily pray for her family.

I was both shocked and sad when I heard of Tiffany's passing. I had the great privilage to work with her is house 5. We made a great team. It was weird that we would always be on the same page and think of the same activities to plan for the month. Tiffany loved working with children even those who were more challenging than others. Tiffany touched many children's lives and many children have benefited from her loving and caring devotion to care for these children.
Tiffany you will truly be missed by many.
To Clay and family~may God be with you during this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I will have this family in my prayers. When Tiffany and I were AM Supervisors together Tiffany used to announce on the loud speaker every morning for the little children to wake up "Good Morning Star Shine The Earth Says Hello"..... Tiffany is a star that will never stop shining!!!!
