                              HORVATH

Kim Barbara (Schalow) Horvath, age 65, of Belding, passed away on January 31, 
2022, at Spectrum Health, Butterworth Campus following a long illness. She was 
born onDecember 25, 1956 in Ionia, Michigan, daughter of Merlin Barnabus and 
Darlene Dora (Marshall) Schalow. Kim graduated from Belding High School with the 
Class of 1975, and continued her education at Michigan State University, 
completing job-related coursework. 

She worked in several administrative capacities throughout her lifetime 
including over 20 years of service to the Central Michigan field offices of the 
department of Agriculture. She also took great pride in having volunteered for 
the Michigan Department of Human Services as volunteer coordinator for clients 
in need of assistance getting to medical appointments, etc. 

Kim enjoyed spending time with family and friends, having bowled for more than 
25 years in various leagues and would stop by Hillcrest Lanes to socialize with 
the staff and other bowlers, all of whom she considered friends. 

She loved to travel making annual pilgrimages to Mackinaw City for the scenery 
and other highlights such as the trip across Mackinaw Bridge. On a trip to New 
Orleans with fiends to celebrate Mardi Gras she became reacquainted with a 
former high school classmate, Stephen D. Horvath. They eventually married and 
have enjoyed 24 years together. 

While she loved adventure, she was seldom happier than when she was sitting at 
home cuddling up for a snuggle and nap in her favorite chair with one of her 
dogs, including her last pet, "Bing" whom she loved, or pulling up to the table 
on a Sunday afternoon to play "Nickles" with her family. 

After her health began to decline, she still spent time with family and friends 
whenever possible and looked forward to trying her luck at an occasional 
scratch-off ticket. Kim will be missed by all who know her.

Kim leaves to cherish her memory, her husband, Stephen D. Horvath; siblings,Merl 
(Patty) Schalow of Belding and Sue Schalow of Belding; and a special niece, Erin 
Robach of Saranac; and several others and many dear friends. She was preceded in 
death by her parents and stepfather Gary Livingston.

Private interments services are being planned to take place at a later date at 
Green Cemetery in Orleans township.
