TYLER MICHELE Passed on May 27, 2015. Michele came to Pittsburgh in 2001 from just outside Paris. Her enthusiasm for her new home was great and grew continually. Throughout her life, Michele sought to meet the challenges of the world and in particular its children with whole-souled devotion, with generosity, persistence, and actions that continue to bless others. In Paris, she mentored young people in the Muslim ghettos in the outskirts of Paris. In Pittsburgh she worked with students at the Intercultural House of the University of Pittsburgh as well as staff and administrators of the Pittsburgh public schools, in particular the Pittsburgh Montessori School, to develop a curriculum addressing racism. She saw this activity as part of her career as a practitioner of healing in Christian Science. On a trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo with her husband, John M. Tyler, she came into contact with an orphanage of children accused of being witches. As a result of Michele's persistent efforts and the generosity of donors she found, the destitute orphanage of outcasts has become a thriving community. As Michele often exclaimed, It is a miracle! A Memorial Service will be held on June 27, 2015, at 11:00 a.m. at First Church of Christ, Scientist, 201 N. Dithridge (corner of Bayard St.), Pittsburgh, PA 15213. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to The InterCultural Project, 272 North Dithridge, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb
