shoppersguide@sbcglobal.net 694-9431 or -(269) call 269-694-9431 info@communityshoppersguide.net -or Anne Marie HORN

AGE 83 - MENDON TWP., MI Anne Marie Horn, age 83, passed away on October 22, 2026 at her son’s home inPlainwell, MI following a brief illness. She was born in Lansing, MI on October 30, 1942, the daughter of Thomas and Pauline (Gadberry) Jordan. Anne attended Portland High School and was part of the 1960 graduating class. On July 2, 1966 Anne would marry the love of her life, Richard Horn, in Battle Creek, MI and the two would share 50 wonderful years together before his passing in 2016. Anne loved to travel, driving to Florida, Arizona and California all the while exploring the countryside and finding hidden gems nobody else knew. In her younger years, she enjoyed a trip to Europe, touring everywhere she could. Anne had a love for the arts, painting wonderful masterpieces, painting landscapes, and making angels out of jewelry. She had a childlike adoration for Christmas, a holiday she loved and thrived with, both with decorations and gifts. She looked forward to her Sunday afternoon cookouts with her friends and family, sending cards to everyone she knew (for every occasion), and always held a positive outlook on life. Her strong faith was a foundational part of her life and she had a deep commitment to her church community. Anne volunteered much of her free time to others, working at the free store, and helping at the church. She had a “gift for gab”, which came in handy as an elementary teacher for 40 years. Anne is survived by her two sons: Greg (Christi) Horn and Keith (Teresea) Horn; three grandchildren: Bella Horn, Brendan Horn, and Will Allen; her dear friend of ten years: Jack Collins; her sister: Linda (David) Luginbill; and many extended families and friends. She was preceded in passing by her parents, Tom and Pauline Jordan; her two sisters, Janet and Christine; and her husband of 50 years, Richard Horn. In keeping with her wishes, cremation is being conducted. A memorial service was held for Anne on Tuesday, October 27, 2026 at West Mendon Community Church (22994 Portage Lake Road, Mendon, MI 49072) at 11am, with an hour of visitation prior, Pastor Troy Peterson officiating. A private burial will take place at a later date. It is suggested that donations made in Anne’s memory be directed to Building Hope Free Store in Centreville, MI.

Gerard O. “Frenchy” GOBEIL Jr. AGE 82 - MARCELLUS, MI

Gerard O. Gobeil Jr., known by many as “Frenchy” passed away on October 22, 2026, at Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo. He was born on September 7, 1944, in Montreal, Canada, the son of Gerard and Eva (Lajeunesse) Gobeil. Frenchy’s life was marked by hard work, devotion to family, and a deep enjoyment of sports and community. He moved from Canada to the United States with his parents in the 1950s, settling in Massachusetts. At 14, he began working as a painter alongside his father and great-uncle, starting a trade that would remain central to his life. He later served his country in the U.S. Navy after joining in 1962. In the early 1960s, he moved his family to Michigan following his sister. A skilled tradesman, Frenchy worked first as a union painter before going on to own and operate Frenchy’s Painting and Wallcoverings in Kalamazoo from 1977 until his retirement in 2021. His long career reflected both his talent and his commitment to his work. Frenchy also brought energy and enthusiasm to the things he loved outside of work. He always enjoyed hockey, and in the early 1970s he played semi-professionally for the Kalamazoo K-Wings, the Stevens Point Kings, and the Milwaukee Admirals. As a goalie, he was part of a championship team with the Admirals. In later years, he enjoyed golfing, bowling, and playing darts. He also gave generously of his time by coaching baseball, hockey, and football when his children were younger. He was a member of the Moose and Eagles. On November 28, 1964, he married Theresa Edwards and they spent 38 years together. Surviving are his children, Gisele (Rob) Zweedyk of Schoolcraft, Michelle (Patrick) Bowler of Cassopolis, Gerard (Stephanie) Gobeil of Otsego, Christina (Richard) Briand of Niles, Michael Gobeil of Kalamazoo, and Andrea (Saul) Medrano of Texas; 21 grandchildren; many great-grandchildren and 2 nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, sister, Gisele Bontrager, and by his granddaughter, Angela Briand. Friends met with Frenchy’s family from 4-7PM, Thursday, October 29, 2026, at the Winkel Funeral Home, Otsego, with a rosary service at 6:30 P.M. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 12:00 P.M (EST)., Friday, October 30, 2026, at Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel in Kingsford Heights, Indiana, with Rev. Fr. Kenneth Novak officiating. Burial will follow at St. Vincent de Paul Cemetery in Elkhart, Indiana. Contributions in memory of Frenchy may be directed to his family for expenses. Arrangements by

Lenard J. Kling Jr., a lifelong resident of the Otsego area, passed away on October 25, 2026, at Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids. Born on January 30, 1956, in Plainwell, Lenard was the son of Lenard and Patricia (Stephens) Kling. He was known to many throughout the community as a kind and familiar presence whose steady nature and friendly manner left a lasting impression. A graduate of Otsego High School’s Class of 1974, Lenard remained deeply rooted in the place he called home. He spent his entire working life with Harding’s Market, the only job he ever had, and became a friendly face to generations of customers over the course of 48 years. He began at the Otsego store, continuing there until it closed, and later retired from the West Main location in 2023. His long career reflected loyalty, dedication, and a genuine connection to the people he served each day. Outside of work, Lenard enjoyed the simple pleasures that brought him happiness. He liked reading and had a love for antiques. Lenard is survived by his brother, Kevin (Shelly) Kling of Otsego; his nieces, Amanda (Wayne) VanDenburg of Clarksville and Randi (Joe Gauthier) Kling of Plainwell; great niece and nephew, Dylan VanDenburg and Raelynn Gauthier with another greatnephew, George Gauthier due soon along with many cousins including special cousin, Eda McNees. He was preceded in death by his parents. He will be remembered with affection by those who knew him as a dependable worker, a quiet and caring family man, and someone whose presence was a constant in the community for nearly five decades. Lenard’s life was marked by faithfulness to home, to work, and to the people around him, and his memory will be cherished by all who knew him. Friends may visit with Lenard’s family from 2-4PM, Sunday, November 1, 2026, at the Winkel Funeral Home in Otsego, where a funeral service will take place at 11:00 A.M., Monday, November 2, 2026, with celebrant Nyla Merrill officiating.

Most of us would be satisfied with life’s basics such as God, family and friendship. We would be content with working and having enough money to provide for our material needs. We would gladly share our time, talents, gifts and service to God through the church.

Every day with you is a gift! You’re still the one! Love,

Yet, God gives believers more than what we need, ask for or hope for. One of the many names for God in the Old Testament is the name “El Shaddai” which translates “God Almighty” or “The All-Sufficient One. One classic example is the covenant God made with Abraham of old (Genesis 12:2-3). God promised Abraham not only that he would be the leader of great nation, but so much more.

Every believer receives from God more than what is needed to live the Christian life. Here are some examples:

1. More than enough grace to cover our sins.

I’m a cool Great Pyrenees mix ready to find my forever home. I’m a well-mannered, friendly boy who brings a calm, warm presence wherever I go, and I love sharing affection with my human friends. I get along fine with most dogs, but thanks to my guardian breed instincts, I do expect others to respect my space and my things. I like to keep my food, toys, and favorite cozy spots (like my bed or the couch) all to myself, so I'll need a thoughtful household that understands my boundaries. If you're looking for a patient, devoted companion to share your life with, I'd love to meet you!

In Ephesians 2:8, 9 we read, “We are saved by grace through faith.” This brings to mind the words of an old gospel hymn entitled “Grace Greater than All our Sins” (Julia H. Johnston). The refrain ends with the words, “…grace, grace, God’s grace, grace that is greater than all our sins.” 2. More than enough grace to meet human suffering. As Apostle Paul was experiencing his so-called “thorn in the flesh” he testified to the faithfulness of God when he stated, “Thy grace is sufficient for all my needs (2 Corinthians 12:9).

3. More than enough grace to live the Christian life.
