Obituary: Kathryn L. Humrich

Kathryn L Humrich
Passed away December 5, 2021

Kathryn L. Humrich, age 102, of Gregory, MI, passed away on December 5, 2021 at her home surrounded by family.

Kathryn had a life well-lived for 102 years and brought joy to everyone who was lucky enough to meet her.

Her family called her the “miracle of 1919.” She was born at 1 lb and 10 oz. at home, and survived out of spunk.

She was born, raised, and passed away in Gregory. Kathryn was a member of the Plainfield Methodist Church. Her family was her biggest joy, and she dedicated her life to taking care of and spending time with them. She enjoyed cooking, baking, crocheting, reading, and working in her yard and garden, but her favorite pastime was traveling, whether it was just a visit to someone’s house, or traveling all over the United States and to her favorite place, Manitoulin Island, Canada. She would say, “just let me get my hat.”

Kathryn is survived by her six children: Gary (Kathryn) Humrich, Larry (Lorraine) Humrich, Ronald (Lynda) Humrich, Linda (Robert) Vogel, Carol (Ralph) Goerge, and Elaine (Mike) Boyd; 21 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.  She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Ralph W. Humrich, two great-grandsons, Benjermin Humrich and Shane Redford, and siblings: Daisie, Russell, and J.W. Roberts.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, December 8, 2021 from 6-8 p.m. at the Caskey-Mitchell Funeral Home. Funeral Services will be held on Thursday, December 9, 2021, 12:00 p.m., at Plainfield United Methodist Church in Gregory, MI. Burial will follow at Plainfield Cemetery.

Memorial may be made to the Plainfield United Methodist Church. Arrangements by Caskey-Mitchell Funeral Home, Stockbridge.
