Obituary For Michelle Calcaterra

Michelle Lynn (Gyde) Calcaterra, born June 6, 1971 in Howell, MI, to Janet Thornton and Bruce Gyde, died suddenly Wednesday May 28th, 2025 in Detroit, MI at her home. She is survived by her husband of 25 years, Joseph Calcaterra, her son Daniel Leonard, stepchildren Coty and Kristi, and her four grandchildren who could always bring a smile to her face.

Michelle loved cooking for those close to her, long days on the boat, and would break into song as often as her heart led her. She loved being around friends and family, entertaining, and enjoyed being the princess of the party. She will be missed by all that had the chance to meet her.

Michelle (& Joe) were always a bright spot while tending bar at Hard Rock. Michelle was a mother figure many of us needed & appreciated. Her presence was always a comfort - She had our back no matter what! I'll raise a glass for her tonight. She will be missed by so many.
