Ionia Sentinel Standard, Nov 2000

Kenneth J. Nielsen, 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 Road.  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 and 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.

Visitation will be from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Wednesday
at the Koops Funeral Chapel in Lake Odessa.  The funeral service will be held at
11 a.m., Thursday at Koops Funeral Chapel.  Burial will be in Lakeside Cemetery.
