Michelle Katherine Lyczkowski died on Saturday, November 29, 2025. She was 42 years old. The reality of her death is devastating to all that knew her.
Michelle was an amazing person who touched everyone in her life with her loving and giving nature. If you knew her, you know that she loved her cats, Mickey and Claude, the Giants, watching Sunday football, her family, her friends, pierogis, and getting a foot massage every week. You also probably know that she hated anything with onions, tomato sauce with chunks, and bugs. She had an incredible way of making everyone around her laugh. She was a great communicator, always checking in on her friends and family and willing to drop everything if someone she loved needed something. If you were lucky enough to be among those closest to her, you know that she never said goodbye without telling you how much she loved you.
Michelle struggled with addiction for most of her life. She went long stretches of being clean, most recently for over six years. Although we are heartbroken to not have her on this earth, we hope that she is eternally free from the struggle that she endured. Her addiction did not define who she was as a person: warm, loving, a hard worker, a selfless friend, and respected by those in her life, but it did end the hope and promise of a life cut short by the ravages of this disease.
Michelle is predeceased by her mother, Elaine Rosko, her sister, Sarah Lyczkowski, and her grandparents, Michael and Eugenia Lyczkowski and Marion Brown. She is survived by her father, Jerry Lyczkowski, her sister, Jessica Brust, her aunt and uncle Sophie and Lee Dyer, her cousins Michael Dyer, Christine, Joe, Kuiper and Georgia Cullin, who were a second family to her, and her bff, Missy Miss. She has a large extended family including her aunt Cindy Squires, uncle Joe Rosko, aunt Maryann Whitmore, their spouses, and many cousins. She was beloved by her work family at The Briad Group too, counting her “bossy,” John Bitante, as a mentor and dear friend.
In honor of Michelle's memory, and because she hated flowers, please consider a donation to the Randolph Regional Animal Shelter in her name.
No one is immune to the opioid epidemic. We encourage anyone battling addiction to reach out for help. You are loved, as Michelle was by everyone in her life, and your life is worth it.
A Memorial Visitation will be held 11am-12pm on Saturday December13 at the Bermingham Funeral Home, 216 S. Main St., Wharton.
