Kelli Jo Case, 52, of Athens, Michigan. Kelli passed away unexpectedly September 28, 2022.
There will be no services at this time. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. The family is being served by Lighthouse Funeral & Cremation in Union City.
Kelli was born on October 13, 1969, to Steven Heuer and Connie (Shaw) Harrington. She grew up spending most of her time at her mother’s family farm in Burlington. Kelli graduated from Union City in 1987. She married Dale Case in 1991, and they had two sons, Taylor and Kyler.
She attended Kalamazoo Community College then worked at Tekonsha Engineering (Cequent) for 21 years, where she was a shipping supervisor. Kelli supported her boys’ hunting obsession, 4-H projects, and at times had to deal with their mischief around the farm.
If you were lucky to know Kelli, you knew her to be a selfless and giving person, ensuring everyone had what they needed to be happy, loved, and safe. Kelli was an incredible Mimi to her grandchildren. She loved them more than anything and would do whatever it took to make them happy. They were her whole world.
When Kelli was not with her grandchildren, she was busy with something, whether it was her work life, attending her grandchildren’s sporting events, or working on a project. Kelli’s hobbies included traveling, camping, riding motorcycles, floating the river, kayaking, and spending quality time with her fiance Jeremy, friends, and grandkids. We will miss her positive attitude, contagious smile, outgoing personality, and big heart.
She is survived by her fiance Jeremy Mattinson; sons Taylor (Catherine) Case and Kyler Case (Logan); grandchildren Hunter, Brendalynn, Everly, Mayvis, and Nixon Case; her half-brothers Chad Heuer and Skip Heuer; and many friends she cherished.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Steven Heuer and Connie Harrington; her half-brother Max Heuer; husband Dale Case; and all of her grandparents.
