Blanche Caroline Young

Blanche Caroline Young, 94 of Beloit, Wisconsin (Fowlerville, MI) returned to her heavenly home on April 20, 2024 and joined her beloved husband, Max. Her devotion to family, friends, and church, and her belief in God supported her throughout life and also those touched by her grace, which ultimately gave her peace.

Blanche was born, one of a dozen siblings, on February 13th, 1930, to the late Hjalmar and Clara (Beal) Hillberg, a farmer and a homemaker respectively, in Sisseton, SD. She was immersed in the Christian faith community that would be her lifelong support from the age of a young woman. At 65, she graduated from Blackhawk Technical College in 1995 with a GRE and a certificate in nursing assistance and accepted a position as a nurse’s aide at Beloit Regional Hospice, Beloit, WI where she worked for nine years.

Blanche was blessed with a large and loving family. She married her loving husband, Max Young, on May 22, 1950 in Sisseton, SD. They moved to Beloit Wisconsin in 1955 where they raised not only their birth children, but also helped raise 17 foster children including Katherine Kubitz Gilbert, the late Diana Kubitz and William Kubitz and Jill Kruit.

Max and Blanche taught their children to serve others through caring, and often took them on long family trips to see visit their grandparents in South Dakota. From the very beginning, they dedicated their children to God and encouraged them to explore the beauty of the scriptures, leading each of them, to their unique expressions of love for life and others. Blanche was a servant at heart. She was kind and soft-spoken, and always had time to care for others. Her loved ones, who celebrate that she is at peace with her creator, will dearly miss her.

Blanche is survived by brothers, Raymond and Donald; two daughters, Bonnie (Joseph) Haller and Virginia (Michael) Seno, and a son, Albert Young; her five grandchildren Barb (Chico) Thumudo, Chris (Katie) Haller, Erin Bockoven (Mark) Troll, Patrick (Devin Carter) Meyer, and Ivy (Jared) Shmikler; great grandchildren: Breanna, Clayton, Coree; Lainey, Trina and Cole; and her brother-in-law, James Doshadis.

She is preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Max; great grandson, Corey Thumudo; brothers, Virgil, Kenneth, Leonard and Clayton Hillberg and sisters, Agnes Hillberg, Violet Kively, Vera Hansen and Helen Huff; and her sons-in-law, Kevin (Virginia) Meyer and Josh (Virginia) Burton, both of Beloit.

A memorial service was held for Blanche at First Baptist Church of Fowlerville, MI on Wednesday, April 24th. Visitation was from 10am-12pm, with the service immediately following. She will be buried at the East Lawn Cemetery, Beloit, WI at 1 p.m. on Monday, April 29th.

 Ruby Lee Hale

Ruby Lee (Lloyd) Hale, 81, was called home by her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and changed her citizenship from this earth to her Heavenly home on April 15, 2024. Ruby (“Liz”) was born October 9, 1942 in Saginaw, Michigan to Walter and Ruby (Merrow) Lloyd. Following graduation from Fowlerville High School (Class of 1960), she met and married Allen E. Hale on June 30, 1962 at Cohoctah United Brethren Church.

Liz attended Beauty College where she learned to be a dedicated hairdresser and cosmetologist. She opened her own Beauty Shop which she ran from home. She had been both an avid golfer AND bowler, being a league member of both sports for many years. Other hobbies and interests that she was active in over the years included gardening, crafting, sewing, clowning with her husband, reading Amish novels, and camping/vacationing with family.

She had a big heart and loved people, especially children. Besides being a Sunday school teacher for many years, Liz became a 4-H leader, and was active as a part of the Fowlerville Alumni Committee.

She was probably most proud of the years that she babysat neighborhood children who became extensions of her own family. They, as well as her own grandchildren and great-grandchildren, were the apple of her eye.

She is survived by her four children: sons Tim “Tucker” (Geoff Boden), and Scott (Dana) Hale and daughters Angela (Rick) Grooms, and Melissa (Larry) Houck. Ruby was richly blessed with 3 beloved granddaughters: Elizabeth, Courtney, and Shannon, and 2 great-grandchildren: OrahLynn and Easton. Liz’s sisters Linda and Peggy, and brothers Walter Jr. and Robert also survive.

Ruby was preceded in death by husband Allen, both parents, and a sister, Marie.

A Funeral Service dedicated to celebrating Liz’s life was taking place on Saturday, April 20, 2024 at Fowlerville United Brethren Church (9300 W. Grand River Ave, Fowlerville, MI 48836). Visitation was from 10 – 11 a.m., with the Service immediately following. Pastor Julie Priestley was officiating. Following the service, Ruby was to be interred at her final resting place next to her beloved husband at Greenwood Cemetery, with a luncheon back at the church immediately following.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that gifts be dedicated to the Fowlerville Fire Department or Fowlerville UB Church.

Today, we are confident by the fact that Ruby is beholding the face of Jesus Christ and enthusiastically singing, …” Yet as for me, I KNOW that my Redeemer LIVES…” (Job 19:25) May you who knew Liz reflect on the gifts and laughter God enabled her to add to your lives and may those gifts prompt you to recognize your need to surrender your hearts and lives to Jesus Christ. Soli Deo Gloria! (“to God alone be the Glory!”)

 Betty Ann (Fellows) Kleinschmidt

Betty Ann (Fellows) Kleinschmidt passed peacefully on April 7, 2024 with Tony and Dawn by her side. Betty was born December 1934 and raised in Howell MI. She married Robert (1932-2022) and lived on the farm in Fowlerville MI. She is survived by her children: Rhonda, Randy (wife Candy), Tony (wife Dawn), Kenny (wife Margaret) and Brenda. Grandchildren: Shawn, Tom, Kate, Nikki, Kayla, Keri, Camri and Mariah. Great-grandchildren: Emily, Marissa, Haley, Arin, Tommi, Ryder, Tyson, Collin, Madilyn, Jayden, Nevaeh, Presley and Camren.

She loved to sing, play piano and bowl. Every time I hear “These boots are made for walking’ I will think of her. She always chewed Big Red gum when she bowled. She worked at Nickerson Farms (now Fowlerville Farms) for many years while raising her children. She loved being a part of The Sweet Adelines, a singing group where she was one of lead singers and was part of a quartet. She also sang in the church choir. She enjoyed sewing; making dresses, matching shirts for the boys, and patching up clothes.

She loved her American doll collection and providing for her husband and family; always there when anyone needed anything.

She created the best childhood for her kids and grandkids, always breaking out the tape recorder and capturing the best memories of them, reenacting waitressing, family life and of course the boys of the family always had to dress the girls as the granny’s. She always brought laughter to the family. There is no one in the world who can whistle and/or sneeze as loud as she can and loved spending time with her grandchildren and videoing them. They would dress up and play waitress, a wedding, farmer Bob and just being kids.

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

 Keith Russell Geer

It is with much sorrow and sadness that we announce the passing of Keith Russell Geer, age 62, of Fowlerville, Mi. on Good Friday March 29, 2024. Keith was born in Lansing, Mi. on September 23, 1961. He was a lifelong resident of Fowlerville.

He is preceded in death by his parents Victor and Morna (Phillips) Geer and an older brother Charles. He is survived by an older brother Michael and two younger sisters Susan Ogden and Patricia Rife, along with several nieces and nephews.

Keith has been a fighter since age 12 of a lifelong debilitating disease called Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, commonly known as FOP.

Keith lived on Collins Street and was often seen tooling around town in his wheelchair. He seldom complained of his condition.

We the family take great comfort in knowing that it is truly a blessing that Keith now can escape the entrapment of his body and his suffering and is in the loving arms of his Lord Jesus. He is at peace. He was known and loved by many and we will miss him.

A Celebration of Life service was being held at the First Baptist Church of Fowlerville on April 6, 2024, with visitation from 11:00am to 1:00pm and the service at 1:00pm. A luncheon was to follow at the church.

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

 Michigan’s new fishing licenses now available for purchase 

Michigan's new fishing license and regulation season kicked off this past April 1st, so anglers need to be sure they have purchased a new license for this fishing season in order to enjoy some great fishing opportunities. The 2024 fishing licenses are valid through March 31, 2025. 

Fishing licenses can be purchased at Michigan.gov/DNRLicenses or by downloading the Michigan DNR Hunt Fish app and purchasing your license through the app. Michigan DNR Hunt Fish, an official app of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, gives you a mobile path to buy and store hunting, fishing, ORV and snowmobile licenses and permits, report harvests, access guides and digests, and get the latest outdoor recreation updates. Make future online fishing license purchases even quicker by selecting auto-renew at checkout to automatically receive licenses in the future. Licenses are also available at a number of retail outlets. 

2024 fishing seasons 

     · The statewide trout opener and the Lower Peninsula inland                 walleye and northern pike seasons all open Saturday, April 27. 

     · In Upper Peninsula waters, the walleye and northern pike                   seasons open Monday, May 15. 

     · Michigan’s muskellunge possession season on all Great Lakes,           inland waters, the St. Marys River, Lake St. Clair and the St.              Clair and Detroit rivers opens Saturday, June 1. (Remember that        catch-and-release fishing for muskellunge is open all year.) 

    · The catch-and-immediate-release season for largemouth and              smallmouth bass is open all year on nearly all waters (unless              otherwise closed to fishing – check the current Michigan Fishing        Regulations for specifics). 

    · The possession season for bass opens statewide Saturday, May          25, except for Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair and Detroit rivers          which open Saturday, June 15. 

The 2024 Michigan Fishing Regulations and Inland Trout & Salmon Maps are available online along with a lot of other helpful fishing information. Visit the DNR website at Michigan.gov/Fishing for the most up-to-date information. For fishing license questions, contact DNR eLicense at MDNR-E-License@Michigan.gov or call 517-284-6057. 

Help protect Michigan's waters 

Remember to start and end each fishing adventure by doing your part to prevent the spread of invasive species. Start with a clean boat and clean gear. End by cleaning debris and plant material from boats and trailers and draining live wells and bilges. Decontaminate waders and gear by applying a chemical disinfectant such as Formula409® Antibacterial All-Purpose Cleaner after each use, and prevent the spread of fish diseases by disposing of leftover bait in the trash.

Deadline for applying for FEMA assistance extended to May 8th

The deadline to apply for FEMA assistance has been extended to May 8th for area residents affected by last year's severe weather that occurred in August.

The FEMA declaration includes Ingham and Livingston, and Oakland counties. Eligible participants can start the application process either by logging on to www.disasterassistance.gov, by downloading the FEMA app, or calling the FEMA Helpline at (800) 621-3362.
