Karen Virginia Heether

Karen Virginia Heether age 77, passed away Thursday, January 9, 2025 at Mission Point in Belding. She was born April 2, 1947 in Grand Rapids, the daughter of Kenneth E. & Dorothy V. (Miller) Heether. She loved to enjoy the outdoors, and spent lots of time in her rocking chair under the shade tree noting the happenings of the neighborhood. In her earlier years she loved to take her great nieces and nephews on walks across town and watching the Labor Day talent show downtown. Her love of the color green, frogs, and Elvis Presley will be things that remind her family of her often.

Karen is survived by her brother Dale (Diane) Heether of Belding; niece Amy & (Buck) Moody of Belding; nephews Dale & (Bernetta) Heether of Langston; Jason & (Shanda Jaquay) Heether of Belding. Great neices and nephews Laisha, Logan, and Lucas Moody, Kenyon and Jaidin Heether, Teagan, and Gavin Heether, Steele Jaquay, Everly and Walker Jaquay-Heether.
