Luella K. McCulley died Thursday, August 17, 2023, at her home in Grangeville, Idaho. She was one of the sweetest people you'd ever meet. She was born May 26, 1931, at Keuterville, Idaho to Steve and Elnora (Enneking) Mader. A few years later she was joined by brothers Melvin and Charles.

After retiring, she grew beautiful wave petunias at her home and volunteered at the Syringa Thrift Store. Luella loved spending time with family and supporting her grandchildren with their endeavors.
