Gregory Allen Culley

On March 23, 2023, Greg Culley, beloved husband and father, passed away at the age of 84 years.

He was born to Hallie America Roberts and Harry B. Culley on August 10, 1938, in DuBois, Pennsylvania, the fourth of five children. After graduating from DuBois High School, he attended Lafayette College and later Yale University School of Medicine. He spent a year in the UK at Cambridge University, Gonville & Caius College. He completed his residency in pediatrics at the University of Minnesota, followed by his military service where he attained the rank of major in the United States Air Force

During this early journey in his life, he was accompanied by his first wife and high school sweetheart, Donna Lee Milliren. They shared many happy adventures traipsing across the U.S. and Europe, and welcomed two daughters together. His career took him from Madrid, Spain to Eastern Kentucky, where he met his second wife, Donna Bass, and welcomed another son and daughter. When he arrived in Hazard, Kentucky he was the only pediatrician in a 100-mile radius and was known for tearing up and down the hills and hollers in his Porsche. From there, he went to Louisville, and finally to Boston. Throughout his life, he was a champion for children's rights and a vocal healthcare advocate for the marginalized and underserved.

He is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Donna Bass Culley; daughters Jennifer (Sagar), Alison (Ed) and Grace (Matt); grandchildren Emma, Hallie, Ben and River; brother, Kent Culley; and several nieces and nephews, whom he loved dearly. He was preceded in death by his son, Todd, and his siblings, Doris, Mary Ellen and David.

He was a big kid at heart who loved rolling down the hill with his grandkids and his annual birthday trip to Oak Bluffs ride The Flying Horses Carousel (followed by fried clams at Nancy's, of course). We know you'll catch the brass ring on this last ride Dad.

A private Celebration of Life will be held by his family on May 7, 2023 in Atlanta, Georgia.
