Antrim County News, August 29, 2011
Beatrice June (Molzahn) Blunt, formerly of Bellaire died peacefully, last 
Thursday night, August 25, 2011, surrounding by her family.  
Beatrice June Molzahn was born to Fred and Sanna (Benjamensen) Molzahn on 
October 25, 1918, in Rochester, Minnesota. After she graduated from high 
school she married Owen Thomas Blunt in Hopkins, Minnesota, which began a 70 
year love affair.  They formed a strong-minded team that steadily moved their 
lives upward.  Bea combined child-raising skills with unfailing social skills, 
to support Owen as he worked as a Ford Plant Manger.  After Owen retired from 
Ford they moved from Bloomfield Hills to their house on Torch Lake where Bea 
used her organizing skills and Owen his wood-crafting magic to remodel their 
75 year old house, and physically and aesthetically expand the Church in the 
Hills. They also were co-founders of the Three Lakes Association, played golf, 
and doted on grandchildren and great grandchildren. She and Owen loved to 
travel through North America, Asia, and the British Isles, spending the 
winters in Venice, FL and taking special trips to Wales and Norway to search 
out their roots. 
In 2006, they moved to Brighton. Bea was preceded in death by her husband, 
Owen and son, Thomas Owen. She is survived by one sister, Patricia Molzahn 
Bacca Bayless of Colorado; two daughters, Bette (Robert) Holden of Bath, and 
Kathleen Roberts of Howell and daughter-in-law, Trina Blunt. She also leaves 
behind eight grandchildren: Amanda (Monte) Lucas and Dianna (Paul) Timperman 
of Lousiville, KY; Sherri (Tim) Hines of Mason; Debbie (Mike) Petersmark of 
East Lansing; Anne (Trent) Schneeberger of Chandler, AZ; Laura (Greg Cassidy) 
Holden of Germany; Andy (Melissa) Roberts of Waterford; Eric (Casey) Roberts 
of Colorado.  She also leaves behind 5 step-grandchildre: Ross Olges, Jeffrey 
Roberts, David Roberts, Gregory Roberts, and Lynne Roberts, and many great 
grandchildren.
Beatrice Blunt was a woman of great will-power and fortitude and will be 
greatly missed by all. A Celebration of her Life will be conducted on Tuesday, 
August 30 at Walnut Hills Country Club, East Lansing at 5:00 pm with dinner to 
follow.  In lieu of flowers please make donations to the American Red Cross in
