I should be able to deduct the entire amount per the State of Michigan Treasury web site.

Based on the instructions from the SOS website, both public and private pensions are eligible for a "subtraction" if one or both of the taxpayers were born before 1946. Instructions are on page 17 of the Michigan Tax Instruction booklet - there is a section called "which sections do I complete" - see option 3 regarding taxpayers born prior to 1946. There is also a scenario #4 which gives a step-by-step for a situation where one spouse is older than the other and both public and private pensions are involved. You will need form 4884 which includes a section to identify the pension income and their sources. Then complete section "A". Unfortunately, TurboTax does not have this totally correct in their programming - they do not allow reporting private pensions. I had to do the form manually, print the return and send it in by mail.
