Michele Diane McCulloch, age 67, passed away peacefully on December 23, 2025. Born on February 2, 1958, in Detroit, Michigan, Michele spent her life rooted in the place and people she loved most-her family.
Michele was the devoted wife of Teddy McCulloch and a loving mother to her two sons, Michael (Priya) and Derek (Jennifer). She was a proud and cherished grandmother to Madelyn, Max, Colin, and Levi, each of whom brought her immense joy.
She is survived by her siblings, Phil Michaels and caring wife Kathy, and Pam Rider, married to the late Larry Rider, she is also survived by her mother in law Mary Delores Griffith. Michele was preceded in death by her brother, Samuel Michaels, and is lovingly remembered by his surviving wife, Cindy.

Michele is also survived by her extended family, including her sister-in-law Michele and her husband, Mike; her brother-in-law Rick and his wife, Darla; and her brother-in-law Kirk.
Michele will be remembered above all for her deep love of family. She cared fiercely, loved generously, and found her greatest happiness in time spent with those she held closest. Her presence, warmth, and devotion will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.
