Our mother, Loretta Fae Kendrick (Higgs), 73, of South Haven, MI passed away Friday, May 20, 2022, surrounded by family. Mom was born September 20, 1948, in Rose Bud, Arkansas. She was the daughter of the late James and Merle (Masterson) Higgs and the wife of our late father, Floyd Kendrick. Mom, affectionately known as Nanny to her grandchildren, loved to read. Reading was her passion and as such, she filled her weeks with volumes and volumes of books. She loved spending time with her grandchildren whenever she could and spoiled them as grandparents do. In 2010, mom retired after a lengthy career at Magna Mirrors where she gained many friends.
Mom is survived by her three daughters, Michelle Davis, Sandra (Toby) Hollis, and Crystal (Richard) Archey; seven grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; five siblings, Donald Higgs, Roger Higgs, Pat Tune, David Higgs, and Lonnie Higgs; and many nieces and nephews.
Along with her father, mother, and husband, she is preceded in death by her sisters, Marcella Hasty and Sue Durfee.
A private ceremony will be held as Mom is laid to rest at Taylor Cemetery next to dad. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date and communicated to friends and family.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her name to South Haven Memorial Library, 314 Broadway Street, South Haven, MI 49090.
