 Margaret Skym

Margaret Skym of Conway Township went to be home with her Savior on October 10, 2023. Born to Ernest & Ruth Reyhl on December 25, 1923, Margaret grew up as one of eight children on a farm in Fowlerville. As a young woman living through the Great Depression era, Margaret quickly learned the value of hard work and family.

Margaret met her life-long partner Clinton Skym on a dance floor and from that moment on her dance card was filled. Clinton and Margaret were married for 75 years and were blessed with four children.

Margaret was preceded in death by her mother and father, husband Clinton and siblings Arden Reyhl, Donald Reyhl, Stanley Reyhl, Richard Reyhl, Dortha Cornell and Charlotte Sherwood.

Margaret is survived by her brother Fred Reyhl, children Dennis Skym, Mary (Doug) Burnie, Lou Ann (Gerald) Roberts, and Darlene Huck, along with grandchildren Kris (Frank) Benedetti, Jim (Tamarra) Burnie, Tracie (Frank) Fisher, Trisha (Matt) Bennett, Amanda (Matt) Lantz, Melissa (Eric) Cole, ten great-grandchildren, and three great great-grandchildren.

Margaret loved her family and you would always find her in the kitchen baking something or outside working in her flower garden. Margaret’s grandchildren will remember her fondly for always having home-baked goodies for them.

One of her grandchildren mentioned that she was just two months shy of tuning 100 years old. The things that she had seen in her lifetime. When she was born, the Model T was just starting to bring cars to the masses….She went from that to seeing man walk on the moon. She lived a lot of life, and she always thanked the Lord for the blessings that He gave them.

Visitation and service was held Friday, October 13, 2023 at St Johns Lutheran Church in Fowlerville. Visitation took place from 10:00 am – 12:00 with the service starting at 12:00. Private burial followed at Antrim Cemetery.

Arrangements entrusted to Herrmann Funeral Home. Online condolences may be expressed at pjherrmannfuneralhome.com

Larry Lee Arnett

Larry Lee Arnett of Leslie passed away on Tuesday, October 3, 2023 after a battle with a long-term illness. He was 75 years old.

Larry was born November 3, 1947 in Stockbridge, Michigan to Ernest and Beatrice (Marshall) Arnett. After graduating from Stockbridge High School, he held many unconventional jobs; he was a Hostess delivery driver, a Hickory Ridge milkman and a car salesman, all before purchasing the Wooden Nickel Saloon in Dansville with his ex-wife (and friend), Carol. He also owned “Crazy Larry’s” catering, providing food and service for many weddings, funerals, fundraisers and other events in the area. He retired in 2018 after 40+ years of serving and employing people from all over mid-Michigan.

Larry was very much a people person, full of many interesting stories he loved to tell. It was guaranteed he would see a familiar face while running errands, as there were very few people he didn’t know. He had a way of making everyone feel like his best friend, even if it was their first encounter, and always had a funny one-liner or joke up his sleeve. A man with a heart of gold, he was willing to give anyone the shirt off his back without asking for anything in return, making him a beloved member of the community.

Larry enjoyed a good game of golf, bantering about Michigan State sports, reminiscing about his old cars and singing the occasional Conway Twitty or Elvis karaoke song, but his greatest accomplishment in life was his family. No matter how busy he was, he would drop everything to make time for them, and even traveled all over the country in his motorhome to attend their graduations and weddings. He was also quite the dog lover and had many throughout the years, all of whom were always by his side.

Larry was preceded in death by his father Ernest in 1950, his brother Bobby in 1962, his son Brad in 1994, his mother Beatrice in 1999, his brother John in 2013, his mother-in-law Christine in 2016 and his sister Kay in 2019.

Larry is survived by his wife, Glenna; his daughters, Gwen (Brian), Shelly and Casey (Dan); his grandchildren, Megan (Jordan), Doug (Maddie), Max (Amanda), Rylee (Bryan) and Chandler,; his great-grandchildren, Bradley and Sophia; his father-in-law, Glen; plus many other wonderful extended family members. There is one special person that deserves a shout out: KC Weldon, who was like a son to Larry and always had his back, be it day or night. You are one in a million.

There will be no funeral service, but there will be a celebration of life for family and friends on Sunday, October 15th, from 1PM to 4PM at the Fraternal Order of Eagles, 835 High St, Williamston. Make sure to bring your best memories!

Donations can be made to the Roscommon County Commission on Aging - Serenity Day Lodge, 1015 Short Dr, Prudenville, MI 48651 or Ingham County Animal Control & Shelter (ACACS), In Memory of Larry Arnett, 600 Buhl St, Mason, MI 48854.
