Fabienne first arrived in the United States after completing her Master's Degree from the prestigious Sorbonne University in Paris, France. She furthered her education, teaching classes at the University level, choosing to do so in the South after falling in love with the charm and hospitality she'd heard so much about prior to leaving Paris. She met Rick McCullough at the University of Southern Mississippi, fell in love and they went on to marry on June 2nd, 1973. They were happily married for nearly 50 years. 

Fabienne supported Rick's corporate career, moving frequently, raising their two children and loved volunteering in their schools. Their son Christopher was born in Greensboro, North Carolina on January 27th, 1977 and their daughter Ashley was born in Mobile, Alabama on July 2nd, 1982. 

The family and their children moved to Denver in 2009 and all eventually settled within just one mile of each other. Ashley and her husband, Howard Stark, of 15 years, have two beautiful children Wyatt (10) and Sawyer (6). 

Fabienne had an amazing and exciting childhood living in various African countries and traveling extensively abroad. She introduced that love of travel to Rick and they shared that love with their children on countless trips to Europe, Canada, and Mexico. Fabienne was known by all who knew her as being one of the kindest, most sincere, loving people you could ever meet. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, family person and friend to so many. Fabienne will be forever missed.
