The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Tuesday, November 7, 2006
Our loving Mom, Patsy Ann Howard, aged 74, of Saranac, went to be with her 
Lord on November 5, 2006 in the loving care of her family. She was born in 
Lansing, MI on March 17, 1932 to Versil and Pearl (Lamb) Reed. Patsy graduated 
from Saranac High School in 1949, and on March 19, 1949 she married Miles 
Nelson, Jr. in Clarksville. Miles preceded her in death on April 9, 1987.

On September 14, 1996, Patsy married Richard D. Howard in Belding. Richard 
preceded her in death on September 28, 2003.  Mom loved her most recent job as 
a greeter at the Ionia Wal-Mart. She had also been a farmer, and worked at the 
Attwood Corp. for many years. Patsy loved to bowl, travel and fish. Over the 
years, she had crocheted afghans as wedding and birth gifts for her kids and 
grandkids.  She liked being in the Red Hat Society, but most of all, she loved 
her family. She was always there for us. Patsy was a member of the Clarksville 
Bible Church.

She is survived by her children, P. Esther (Ron) White of Belding, Suzanne 
(Bill) Meyers, Debra (Ken) Minnie, Miles (Pam) Nelson, Daniel Nelson, all of 
Saranac, and Kenneth Nelson of Lake Odessa; foster-daughter, Laurie (Matt) 
Schultz of Ionia; and step-daughter, Charlotte Hill of Battle Creek; 37 
grandchildren; 54 great grandkids; and 1 great great grandchild. Also 
surviving are brother-in-laws, John (Karen) Nelson of Highland, and Mitch 
Conley of Ionia; sister-in-law, Ruth Lawrence of Bellevue; and brother-in-law 
and sister-in-law, Russell (Betty) Howard of Marshall; and many cousins, 
nieces and nephews. Patsy was preceded in death by her parents; and sister, 
June Conley.

Visitation will be held at the Koops Funeral Chapel in Clarksville on 
Wednesday, November 8 from 1 to 3 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. The funeral service 
will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday at the Clarksville Bible Church.  Burial 
will be in Saranac Cemetery. The family suggests that in lieu of flowers, 
memorial contributions may be made to Spectrum Health Hospice of Grand Rapids, 
or the Clarksville Bible Church.
