Cesaria M. Birk, 82, of Coldwater, passed away Sunday, July 2, 2023 at her home surrounded by family.
A celebration of Sarah’s life will be held Friday, July 14, 2023, from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at Dutcher Funeral Home in Coldwater.
Sarah was born August 27, 1940, in Gagetown, MI to Santos and Consuelo (Garcia) Martinez. She married Jerry Birk August 11, 1961, in Sebewaing, MI.
Sarah had a lifelong career as a beautician, working at JoAnn’s Beauty Salon and then Kathy’s Beauty Mall, until her retirement. Unable to ever sit still, she took a part time job at Waffle Farm Campground.
Sarah was a member of St. Charles Borromeo Church. She also belonged to several clubs including the American Legion Auxiliary, the VFW, the Eagles, Elks and Moose Lodge. She enjoyed playing pool, bowling, golfing and playing cards.
Sarah was a social butterfly that never met a stranger and made friends everywhere she went. She loved to socialize with family and friends.
Sarah’s family would tell you she didn’t miss a day of life, up until becoming ill and even then, she would have a good day, go into the bathroom to fix her hair, come out and say “I’m ready Dad.” Jerry would say, “for what?” she replied, “to go to town and get a beer.”
Sarah is survived by her husband Gerald; her children David Birk of Coldwater, Lisa Birk-Stout of Bronson; her grandchildren Mike (Lindsey) Birk, Tim Birk, Johnathan Birk, Consuelo (Andrew) Clark, Tony Birk and Levi Stout; 7 great grandchildren Landyn, Walker, Alexandra, Michael, Julian, Hailey and Cameron.
She was preceded in death by her son-in-law Tracy, her parents, and 19 brothers and sisters.
