Karen was born in Ionia and lived most of her life in Lyons/Muir. Her passing was expected but far too soon. Karen went on heaven’s journey with her daughter Melissa and son-in-law Dale at her side. Care Bear (Karen) went to be with her parents, Ray and Lucile Bennett; brother, Sonny Bennett (Norman); son Joey; and granddaughter, Stephanie. She will be forever missed by her daughter, Melissa (Dale) Baldwin; grandchildren, Joshua Grill, Cal Baldwin, Skye Baldwin of Ionia; brothers and sisters, Charles (Arlene) Bennett of Lyons, Barb (Richard) Kline of Dimondale, James (Bonnie) Bennett of Lyons, Fran Shattuck (Lon Heilman) of Ionia, and Vicki (Harry) Brock of Saranac; and 13 nieces and nephews. She was known to most of her grandnieces and nephews as Care Bear. A mother’s love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 16, 2011 at Lyons Cemetery in Lyons. Arrangements by Lake Funeral Home of Muir.
