Treva Mae Kowalk Obituary (1947 - 2009)

Treva Mae Kowalk died on April 6, 2009 at the age of 62 in Gratiot County, Michigan to the sudden diagnosis of cancer and a life long struggle with diabetes. She is survived by her brother, Leslie Brandt; and 2 daughters, Karen and Jennifer. She was born on April 3, 1947 in Eaton Rapids, Michigan during a flood in which she "cried because she wanted a boat ride". A 1965 graduate of Eaton Rapids High School, Treva spent her young years in Eaton Rapids, and then moved to Lansing where she resided at death. Treva was a loving sister, mother, grandmother, aunt and cousin to many. She loved the outdoors and was out every chance she had. She loved building campfires in her back yard every weekend, holiday and any other chance she was given, even if it was too cold. She also loved to knit anything, with first place prize winning booties and slippers being the most well known gift made and given by her. Treva will be missed by many, but we all know she is in a safe and better place. She will be pain free and able to do anything for eternity. We all love you and will see you again. We all know it was "time to move on" for you. Memorial services will be Monday, April 13th at 1:00 P.M. from the Skinner Funeral Home in Eaton Rapids. Family will receive friends from 12:0 P.M. until service time.
