              LARSON

On October 6, 2018, Kim posted the following "I wasn't with my sister when she 
died.So I asked God why? This is what he said to me.I waned you to remember her 
as she was before. Not as she looked when she was knocking at my door.Her angel 
wings have reached her, she is happy now. She's with the ones she knew and 
loved. Grandma being the main one." No other words area s true as they have been 
for us the last few days when our loved one, Kim "Abby" Larson, 67, of Rodney, 
unexpectedly passed away at home, from medical complications, on January 7, 
2024. Kim was a touch stubborn with a  big heart when it came to her pets and 
those she loved.Her life wasn't always easy but she did the best she felt she 
could at the time and for the circumstance. In her later years having some 
regrets and seeking forgiveness where needed. 

Kim was born on October 11, 1956 in Ionia, Michigan to the late LeRoy and Mary 
Ann (LaBine) Bursley. Following High School she joined the carnival, a job that 
suited her personality. Later on she obtained her cosmetology license and worked 
here and there, as a beautician for a number of years. Kim's youngest children   
remember their mom taking night school classes to get her GED and becoming the 
head start teacher during their grade school years. 

Kim enjoyed doing crafts, making blankets for her grandchildren & great-
grandchildren and collecting several things from keychains to figurines.She was 
independent, often said it how it was and could be sentimental all at the same 
time.

The last 7 months Kim lived with her daughter,Katie (Carl) Clark-Holt. They have 
many memories, and looking back they have no regrets. They showed Kim and made 
sure Kim knew what it was like to be "part of a family". Kim is also survived 
by:Sons,Floyd "Jr."(Jennicee)Battle of Ionia and Zac (Maleah Molina)Clark of 
Evart; three granddaughters, one grandson, who was her world & will miss being 
able to prank call her; 1 great-grandson; son at heart,Robert (Melissa) Hunt of 
Grand Rapids, who appreciates Kim for the care provided and making him who he is 
today; special nephew throughout the years, De Shaun Bursley; Carl's family. The 
Holt's who made her feel apart of a family, Siblings, Roseann Andersen of 
Belding, Sandy Bursley, who  preceded her in death,Sheila "Suzie" (Elwin "Toad") 
King, Randy (Tami) Bursley and Kandi, who knew she was loved by her sister,
