Phyllis Carmean

On December 20, 2024, our parents celebrated 72 years of marriage. They established their home and raised a family of five children: Ron (Geri), David (Nancy), Judy (Mike), Karen, and Tracey (Rick). We gave them six grandchildren: Ron Jr., Andrea, Joel, Joshua, Kristina, and Adam. They gave them six great-grandchildren.

Our father, "Squeak" worked for Benzie County Road Commission for 42 years until retirement.

Mom was a stay at home mom who gave everything for her family.

As sad as it was to see them go, it was somewhat comforting to see that 72 years ago, they started their life together and now ended it together.

Per their request, there will be no services. If you would like to do something in their memory, please consider donating to the Benzie Animal shelter, as dad loved all animals; or Betsie Valley Library, as mom loved to read.

They will be sadly missed by all that knew and loved them.

Bye mom and dad! Enjoy your new adventure.

The Terwilliger Funeral Home, in Kaleva, is in charge of arrangements.
