Katie Presnell, 38, of Grand Rapids, passed away unexpectedly Monday, September 24, 2018.
The daughter of William & Esther (Brodbeck) Presnell, she was born December 17, 1979 in Hastings.
Katie will be remembered for her passion for all things in nature, and her enchantment for water, whether it be The Pond, Lake Michigan, or a hidden pond she found on a trail walk; her love of Detroit sports including the Lions and Pistons. Her devotion for her sons was unwavering. Katie was a spitfire with a heart of gold and a sympathetic soul; she will be sorely missed.
She was preceded in death by her father. Katie is survived by her mother; her sons, Austin Thomas, and Logan Thomas; sisters, Nicole & Matthew Schaar, and Lisa & Doug Roossien; niece, Fiona Roossien; along with many other loving friends and family.
Visitation with the family will begin at 10 A.M., on Saturday, September 29, 2018, at Michigan Cremation & Funeral Care, 3627 Linden Avenue S.E., Wyoming. 49548, where funeral services will start immediately following at 11 A.M, with Pastor Mark Vander Meer of Community Recovery International officiating. The family ask that you join them for a time of food and fellowship following the service at, 2590 Chatham Woods Dr. S.E., Grand Rapids, 49546.
In lieu of flowers the family would appreciate contributions for Katie’s final expenses and towards her sons’ future expenses.

Esther, Lisa, and Nicole, Austin, and Logan, ..we are holding you in our prayers. None of us know when we will be called home. Please know that our family is broken-hearted, and praying for your family. Wishing this wasn’t so…sending out love and prayers for you all.
Katie was a special gift to this planet. Her light shined so bright within, that I bet it could be seen from outer space with the right technology. We only knew each other for a short while, but she has impacted my life forever. I am still in shock from the news of her passing. I pray her legacy here on Earth will be remembered by her loving spirit and not by her battles. Our family weeps with her friends and family. We are praying for you all. God bless you!
I’m so sorry. Katie was a smiley, happy lady and loved her family dearly.
I wish I had known her passion for the water – I definitely would have helped her learn to dive and enjoy the beauty of the underwater world.
God Bless you and keep you, Katie.
Esther,
