Kathryn Edith (White) Nilsen of Grass Lake, age 70, died Saturday, Oct. 3, 2015 at the University of Michigan Hospital.

She was born Dec. 28, 1944 in Chelsea, Michigan, the daughter of Arthur and Maxine (Irwin) White.

Kathy loved her family, friends her church and the Lord. She also loved history and researching things. She researched her family history, gardening tips, the Bible pretty much anything she wanted answers to. She was kept going by her loving family (especially 3 sweet granddaughters) friends and her church.

She did love the work she did at the Law Library and she always had a neat story about a book that was sent somewhere fun. She had a bit of time to travel to California and overseas to Europe the last 6 years.

She would find the good in everyone and was always kind even when she was frustrated (which wasn’t often). She would give anyone the shirt off her back and buy them two more if they needed it. She was an amazing Mother, Grandmother, friend, cousin, etc. The world is a much better place because she was here.

Even though it seemed early, it was her time to go home to her Lord and savior and her beloved husband Ralph.
