Doug W. McCullough

He was born September 14, 1950, in Akron, Ohio, to parents Kenneth and Catherine (Amendolar) McCullough. Throughout his youth, he lived in Erie, PA and Brimfield, graduating from Field High School in 1968. He retired from Key Bank in 1992 after managing the Ravenna, Rootstown, and Mogadore branch locations, throughout his 21 year career. He also operated his own business, Casual Mortgage Company.

Doug was an active member of St. Peter of the Fields, where he served as an usher, Eucharist Minister and altar server. He was a generous person, always willing to help others. Doug was a contributor to the start-up of The Center of Hope, and also supported the Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, and the County Clothing Center.

Doug was a member of Kiwanis, Knights of Columbus, and the Italian American Society. He enjoyed golfing and hunting for a bargain. Doug left this world doing what he loved.

On January 28, 1972, he married the love of his life, Wilma, at St. Patrick’s Church in Kent. Every day of their 46 year marriage, he asked her “Have I told you today that I loved you?”, and it never got old. They raised their family in Ravenna and Brimfield. Doug had a unique sense of humor, and loved to shower his grandchildren with take home gifts when they visited. He also enjoyed being on the lookout for things that his children “might need someday”. He loved to cook creatively, which was a trait he passed down to his sons.

Doug is survived by his beloved wife Wilma McCullough; his children: Kerry (Floyd) Hollender, Amy (Chad) Pollard, Matthew (Amanda) McCullough, Mark McCullough, and Julie McCullough; along with his grandchildren: Megan and Garrett Hollender, Logan, Lucas, and Jessica Pollard, Jordan, Katie, Matt, Lindsey, and Emily McCullough, Tyler, Madison, and Ryah McCullough. Doug is also survived by his brother: Carl (Twyla) McCullough, step-brother: Danny (Barb) Miley, and his brother from another mother: Gary Thompson. He was preceded in death by his father Kenneth McCullough, mother Catherine Miley, and step-father Charles Miley.
