Michelle Colucci Cowart, 69, of Melbourne, FL, passed away peacefully on July 8, 2026. She resided in Melbourne for the past 30 years. Michelle was born in Ludlow, MA, on November 20, 1956, to the late Santo and Lena (L’Ecuyer) Colucci. She was a 1974 graduate of Ludlow High School, later attending Holyoke Community College and the University of Maine with a major in nutrition.

Michelle’s greatest joy was family. She leaves behind two children, Zachary Cowart (Shannon) and Apryl Cowart Stahl (David). She was the proud and loving grandmother of Frances, Hunter, and Vincenzo. Michelle is survived by her siblings, Diane Colucci Hecht (Ed Kardas), John Colucci, Patty Harrington (Michael), and Paula Hodge (Brent). She leaves behind multiple nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Peace brings a heavenly reunion with her parents, Santo and Lena, and her beloved sister, Cindy. Michelle’s deeply kind and gentle nature touched every heart she met, creating a lasting legacy that will be profoundly missed by her family and extensive circle of friends.

A Celebration of Michelle’s Life will be held at the family’s discretion.
