On September 16th 2013 Deanna McCulloch went to rest after a lengthy battle with health issues. She was born January 26th 1944 in Parma Idaho to Ed and Freda Ford. She was the 2nd oldest of 5 siblings. Deanna spent her youth in the Parma area and graduated from Wilder High School. Dee attended nursing school in Santa Cruz California and there she met her life partner Louie. They ran off to Reno NV and married on the Reno express in 1965. They moved to Wilder Id and lived there for 6 years before moving to Colstrip which has been her home for 39 years. Dee was an avid bowler in her youth and enjoyed painting, sewing, baking cakes and fishing with Louie and her family. She devoted herself to be a wife, mother and grandmother to her family. Dee looked forward to her trips to the senior center, and spending time with her friends there. Dee also loved spending as much time with her family as possible.

Dear family and friends of Deanna McCulloch – I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. May God give you peace and comfort through his sure promises to end pain, mourning and death (Revelation 21:4). At that time no one will say “I am sick” (Isaiah 33:24). Almighty God also promises to fulfill our desires, not just our needs (Psalms 145:16). Cherish all the happy memories of Mrs. McCulloch and be further comforted by the Bible (John 17:3).
Tami Koch says

I can hear her voice in my memories so clear from when I was just a kid, saying Kris!! I hear Uncle Louie too sitting in the lawn chairs at Grandmas. Aways so kind. Colstrip was so far, but when they would come to Idaho, we always loved spending time with them. Beautiful people who loved all, and I am so glad to only have good memories of them. Her beautiful paintings hang in my Kitchen. Think about her often.
