Obituary

Rosalin Marie Witherspoon , age 87, of Hume Township, Kinde Michigan passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on December 6, 2022.

Rosalin was born on November 19, 1935, in Meade Township to the late Elmer and Edna (Briggs) Koth.

She attended Church School and graduated from Bad Axe High School in 1954. Rosie married Willis Witherspoon on May 25, 1957 at Our Savior Lutheran Church, Bad Axe, Michigan. Rosie worked on the family farm and was employed at Huron County Abstract Company. She then worked for Robert Brown Dairy Equipment until her retirement. Rosie was a member of St. Peters Lutheran Church in Kinde, Michigan where she taught Sunday School and served on many committees throughout the years. She always had a garden and some new house plants growing. She was a 4-H Leader for eight years teaching sewing, crocheting, and knitting, as well as a member of a Huron County Extension Group. The quick witted determined and spunky Rosie had a way of always making others feel very welcome in her home.

Rosie is survived by her three children Kaye (Richard) Crego, Brenda (Timothy) Gould and Carl (Emily) Witherspoon; eight grandchildren Jacob (Kristian ) Junglas, Aaron Crego, Ashley Crego, Brandon (Sara) Gould, Joshua Gould and Charles Witherspoon, along with three great-grandchildren, Jackson and Raymond Junglas and Sophia Rosalin Gould. Sophia may not have Rosie's red hair, but carries on her great-grand mother's spirit. Rosalin is also survived by her brother Elwin and sister-in-law Mary Koth, as well as many nieces, nephews and their families.

She is preceded in death by her husband Willis Witherspoon, parents Elmer and Edna (Briggs) Koth, father and mother-in-law Alford and Minna Witherspoon, brother Everett and sister-in-law Ann Koth. She was also preceded by her brothers and sister-in-law Euortta (Verne) Hind, Alice (Beuncy) Fisher, Allen (Florence) Witherspoon and John Witherspoon (Sharon) Collings.

Visitation will be from 2-8 PM on Friday, December 9, 2022 at the MacAlpine Gage Chapel in Kinde and on Saturday December 10 at St. Peters Lutheran Church in Kinde from 10:00 AM until the time of service at the Church.
