AGE 83 – OTSEGO, MI
Betty Emma Cornelia passed away Thursday afternoon, August 3, 2017 at the Life Care Center in Plainwell. She was born June 14, 1934 in Little Lake, Michigan. She was the 2nd youngest daughter of 12 children born to Jerry and Emma (Furaitor) Westman. On August 13, 1952 she married Norman Cornelia in Amasa, Michigan. Betty was a homebody and Norman’s service in the U.S. Air Corp meant lots of moves, and thus lots of places to call home for the family . They eventually settled in Otsego. Betty enjoyed crafts such as crocheting and even doll making. She liked to Wii Bowl and watch Golf on T.V. Betty was a wonderful cook and baker, making large meals for her family. Survivors include her children, Debra Joy (Dennis) Carlon of Wayland, Ginger (Ron) Schoonbeck of Kalamazoo and Dennis Cornelia (Lucy Henry) of Plainwell; 10 grandchildren, Melissa, Jody, Daniel, Christopher, Rose, Bruce, Kevin, Merritt III, Michael and Kelly; 24 great grandchildren and she was looking forward to her first great great granddaughter’s birth. She is also survived by her sisters, Marie Jensen of Gwinn, Michigan and Sharon Anderson of Ishpeming, Michigan and sister-in-law MaryAnn Westman of Racine, Wisconsin. She was preceded in death by her husband, and 9 siblings. Betty will be laid to rest by her husband Norman at Hematite Cemetery in Amasa, Michigan at a later date. Memorials may be made to the American Heart Association. Arrangements by Winkel Funeral Home Messages of condolence may be posted at www.WinkelFuneralHome.com

David “Chuck” Kiel, 76, of Plainwell, Michigan passed away Thursday, August 3, 2017 at his home. Chuck was born on June 26, 1941 in Kalamazoo to David and Gretchen (Bennett) Kiel. Chuck proudly served his country in the US Air Force during the Korean Conflict. On October 7, 1961 he married Judy Westfield in Otsego. He retired in 1993 after 25 years as a body shop manager. Chuck’s wonderful sense of humor never waned, even during his illness. He was a great storyteller with a contagious laugh. He looked forward to visiting with friends, playing cards, and enjoyed trips to the casino with his buddies. In his younger years he enjoyed hunting and fishing. He was dedicated to his family and proud of their accomplishments. Chuck was a coach and avid fan and supporter of Otsego and Plainwell High School athletics. He loved watching his children and grandchildren play sports. His love for his grandchildren extended his life and he inspired them to never give up.

“STRENGTH THROUGH WEAKNESS” By Rev. Dan Minor - revdminor@att.net _____________________________________
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for you; for my strength is made perfect through weakness” – 2 Corinthians 12:9
One of the great moments in the history of the United States Congress happened on March 1, 1945 when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt came to present his report on the Yalta Conference. Those present at the joint session included members of the Supreme Court and members of the President’s cabinet. There was great anticipation for the President’s arrival. The doorkeeper announced the arrival of the President. When the door opened a shocked silence swept through the chamber as they saw the President of the United States seated in a wheelchair. FDR’s polio had been a guarded secret but was now publically in view. It was the first time anyone in the chamber had seen him in this condition. For the first time, instead of standing behind the podium, he sat behind a small table on the floor. He then spoke, “I hope you will pardon me for the unusual posture of sitting down during the presentation of what I want to say, but I know that you will realize that it makes it a lot easier for me in not having to carry about ten pounds of steel around on the bottom of my legs.” At that moment the entire body erupted into long spontaneous applause. It was his first public reference to his physical incapacity. President Roosevelt found courage in humility and strength in weakness. Instead of lessoning respect for him, he gained it. Today visitors to the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in Washington D.C. will find strength through weakness on full display. They will see a bronze statue of our nation’s longest serving President seated in his wheelchair, with Fala, his Scottish terrier, at his side. There is a name for that. It is called grace. Strength in weakness. Vindication in vulnerability. Whatever we want to call it, God has grace sufficient for all our needs. Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to experience your sustaining grace in my life today. Amen.
