Hastings Banner, 9 Nov 2000

Kenneth J. Nielsen, age 76, of Lake Odessa, went to be with his Lord Monday
evening, Nov. 6, 2000.  Ken was born in Lakeview on May 21, 1924 to Sam and
Karen (Christensen) Nielsen shortly after they immigrated to the United States
from Denmark.

His early years were spent in Ionia where he graduated from High School in 1943.
 On June 10, 1944, he married Fern Hesterly.  Ken served in the U.S. Air Force
from 1945-1946, and for the past 48 years had farmed on Tupper Lake Rd.  He
attended Grace Brethren Church and had served on the boards of ASC in Ionia and
the Lake Odessa Co-Op.

Ken was an avid hunter and fisherman and owned bragging rights in several “Big
Buck” contests.  He was especially devoted to his family and could always find
time to spend with his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.  All
his friends and neighbors could depend on Ken being available to lend a helping
hand.

Ken is survived by Fern, his loving wife of 56 years, his children, John
Nielsen; Ruth (Rick) Huckaba; Jean (Larry) White; 11 grandchildren; six great
grandchildren; his sisters, Dorothy Bennett and Marjorie Chickering; and many
other loving relatives and friends.  Ken was preceded in death by his parents;
his sisters, Marguerita Baker and Mattie Brooks; and his brother, Carlton Nielsen.

The funeral service will be held at Koops Funeral Chapel on Thursday at 11 a.m.
 Burial will be in Lakeside Cemetery.  Memorial contributions may be made to the
Gideons or Grace Brethren Church.
