A friend wrote: “Our beloved CK unexpectedly passed away in her new home. She is remembered by friends and family as a loving person whose smile and personality lit up the room. Her Love of the beach and reading will live on.”
Another friend wrote: “CK was an effortlessly gorgeous woman with a big heart. She loved first and foremost her husband, her network of family and friends, followed closely by (in no particulate order) Lake Michigan, cool canines, classic movies, classy outfits, interior decorating, cooking, crossword puzzles and grey thoroughbreds. She will be remembered for her quick laugh and warm hugs.”
CK is survived by Jim, her husband of 28 years; and her two sisters, Peggy and Charleen.
An informal gathering to celebrate her life is scheduled for Tuesday, July 17, 2018 at 2 pm at City Beach in Grand Haven, MI.
