Cullen Sr., Christopher C. Cullen Sr., and Lynn Trent; her favorite son-in-law, Mitch Trent; her sisters, Carol Kline of Richland, PA and Shirley Rogers of Milford, DE; 14 grandchildren; and 19 great-grandchildren.
The family would like to thank her caregivers, Darnise, Delillah, Toni and her hospice caregivers Joe, Katrina, Devan and the Hospice Volunteers.
A visitation for family and friends will be held from 11 am until 12 pm on Tuesday, September 10, 2024, at Spicer-Mullikin Funeral Home, 275 East Main Street, Middletown, DE, where a funeral service will begin at 12 pm.

She was my big sister and I grew up knowing she was my best friend, too. We had our differences, but she showed me how to use eyebrow pencil for my first date and I never forgot that. She could be a little gruff at times, but we grew close in later years even though we didn't live close most of the time. I loved her very much and will always miss her. But I believe she is home with the Lord and will never be hurting again.
