Obituary

NEGAUNEE TOWNSHIP, MI - Kathleen Marie “Kathy” Liupakka, age 73, of Negaunee Township, entered eternal life Tuesday, April 21, 2020, at UP Health System - Marquette in the loving care of her family.
Born September 27, 1946, in Marquette, a daughter of Robert and Madonna (Sarasien) Trewhella, Kathy was raised in Marquette. She attended St. Michael Grade School and Graveraet High School and was a member of the first class to graduate from the newly completed Marquette Senior High School in 1965. She married Richard Leo Liupakka and together the couple made their first home on Cleveland Street in Marquette, where they raised their three children. Throughout the years, Kathy was employed at the Gossard factory in Ishpeming, at the Crossroads four corners gas station, and the Big Boy Restaurant. Her longest employment, however, began at the former Marquette County Airport and continued at the Sawyer International Airport where she was employed as a tech specialist, involved in airplane repair for over fifteen years. She retired in 2013. Kathy was a member of St. Christopher Catholic Church where she worked on the pasty crew and where her children attended St. Christopher Grade School in their younger years. She cherished time spent with her family and the many cookouts that included close friends. In her leisure moments, Kathy enjoyed reading, playing Skip-Bo with her friends, and especially watching her granddaughter, Cheyanne ride her horse.
Kathy is survived by her husband, Richard; her children, Tamatha (Dale) Larson of Harvey and Shawn Liupakka of Negaunee Township; her grandchildren, Cheyanne and Laine Larson; sisters, Mary Trewhella of Marquette and Jackie (Larry) Bean of Canton; brothers, Robert (Marilyn) Trewhella of Big Bay and Mark Trewhella of Big Bay; her aunts, Rose Trewhella of Marquette and Loraine Syria of Abilene, TX; many nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Kathy was preceded in death by a son, Timothy Liupakka; a brother, Michael Trewhella; and uncles, Mel Syria and Jim Trewhella
Services will be held at a later date.
Fassbender Swanson Hansen Funeral and Cremation Services is serving the family, where condolences may be expressed online at fassbenderswansonhansen.com

I am so sorry to hear about Kathy's death. I stayed connected with her because my sister Julia Liubakka's husband was a first cousin to Kathy's husband Richard.  My brother-in-law passed away the summer after my dear friend Bonnie Z.  Lots of sadness in this earthly life but also a lot of joy.  I hope this darn virus starts to go away.  Here in Virginia stay at home is until June 10th.

Hi all! Been a while since I've been on the site. Sorry to learn of the passing of Dennis & Kathy. I did not really know Dennis...but Kathy was a kind & gentle soul. Both died way too Young...& of course Bonnie before them.

Don Saunders: TX for the video! Could watch Elvis forever.

We are still in Earp, CA biding our time. Planning on returning home to Rock after May 10. We were going to store the RV out here, but changed our minds. If we pull it back we can eat, sleep,& use the bathroom & have no contact with people, except to pump gas. Hubby will be masked & gloved to do that...will even sterilize the debit card. Wow! Never thought we'd be doing this in our lifetime!!

I sincerely urge everyone to stay safe & healthy through this Corona ordeal.

My prayers are with you all for I love my classmates...each & every one of you. God Bless.

Karen: I got luggage too!

I hope and pray all of you and yours are doing fine and dandy during this time of uncertanity and stress!!  I think back those 55 years and all we did - or at least all that I can remember!!  lol  I look at my grandson and all he is missing out on not having graduation ceremonies and parties.  I guess you can't miss something you have never experienced.  I got to drive him in the senior parade all around the town of Hopkins -  population 612.  It looked like everybody was out lining the streets with banners and flags and playing the fight song.  I was impressed at how many called out my grandson's name!!  It was an evening I will not forget.  And now I can remove 'be a float' from my bucket list!!  

Be safe everyone!!

Sorry that a lot of you got emails from me yesterday.  It was a scam.  I lost my address book and my email was frozen.  About 35 people called me about it.  I spent 2 hours on the phone with comcast to fix it.  (Hope it's fixed.)  They, comcast, told me to contact the police so that is one of my projects today along with redoing my address book.

Hope everyone is staying safe.

Carol Aho Slone is very ill and it is with a heavy heart that I share with you who are not on Facebook that her son, Derrick, posted she is in ICU with cancer in her pancreas, liver, and abdomen and there is evidence that her kidneys may be shutting down. Please keep Carol, her husband, Vern, and son, Derrick in your thoughts and prayers in this difficult time.

Carol gave me permission to share information with the class.

Sorry to hear this, I sure remember Carol as a good friend. From a fellow Harvey/Lakewood buddy, I pray you will get thru this fight with cancer and enjoy many good years to come. I know what it's like to hear the C word, scary, but you are a tough lady. May Jesus and your family hold your hand thru this!

Derrick’s Facebook Post this morning.

 Update on the funeral plans for my Mom Carol Slone: Dad and I will have a private viewing of her and our personal goodbye on Wednesday afternoon at 1 pm at Palm Mortuary on 800 S. Boulder Highway in Henderson. Sometime after that she will be cremated. Approximately a week after that a memorial service will be held in a chapel at that Palm Mortuary location. A Catholic priest will preside over the service and I will deliver a eulogy. The service will conclude with all of us who will attend walking out of the chapel to the cemetery where there will be a final goodbye ceremony with the priest blessing the remains of both my Mom and my brother Jason at the location of their internment. Once the ceremony is concluded we will depart from the cemetery and both my Mom and my brother will be laid to rest. I will make an announcement on the memorial service when a firm date and time are set. Thank you all for your support and kindness to me and my family during this time of profound sadness and grief. It means the world to us.

My sincere condolences to Carol's family.  We have also lost my life long friend Karen Revord.  She was such a kind and loving woman.  She always had a wonderful smile and great laugh in the the face of many hardships since her stroke.  I will remember her with gratitude and love.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Karen Revord.  She made it to the 50th reunion in spite of her physical challenges.  It was good to see her.

Classmate Diana Dagenais Haglund died Friday, July 31st.  Her obituary on the bjorkandzhulkie.com website gives her graduation date as 1964 but she is listed as a 1965 graduate in the Tatler and in my database.  Go to the funeral home website for a full obituary.  A Celebration of Life will be on Friday, August 7th.

A typo - it's Diane, not Diana.

We are in the U.P.. It is hot today!  I am so sorry about the recent passings of our classmates. We haven't seen anyone except family but I think I saw John T. and Kaye H. at the band concert. Everyone was wearing masks. Skip, if you read this would you call my sister.  Beaver took down another Birch at camp. Need advice.
