One of Emmet County’s longest-serving clerks, Irene Granger, passed away Monday, March 22, at Munson Medical Center. She was 75. Her son, Jeff Granger, of Kewadin, said his mom hadn’t been feeling well and was admitted to the hospital Sunday. She died at 3:30 a.m. of septic shock infection. Jeff and his brother, Jim, were with her. Her death came as a shock to the family and those who knew her in Emmet County. “Irene was a legend,” said current county clerk Gail Martin, who served for eight years as Granger’s deputy clerk. “She was incredibly intelligent and remembered every little number and detail. She gave her heart and soul to Emmet County. In fact, she rarely took a day off. I used to have to beg her to take vacation time.” Granger first hired in February 1978 as deputy clerk under clerk Harriet Kilborn. In 1980, she became the county clerk and served six elected terms until her retirement in 2004. The Newfoundland native moved to Alanson in 1977 with her late husband, Gerald, who was born and raised in Alanson. The couple had three children and eight grandchildren. Granger’s funeral will be held 11 a.m. Wednesday, March 24 at the Sacred Heart Church, 143 Charles St., Elk Rapids. Visitation with the family will take place at 10 a.m., and a luncheon will follow the funeral service. |

Lucille “Lucy” Lenore Miller, 71, of Sebring, Fla. and formerly of Union City and Coldwater, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Monday, March 15, 2010 in Sebring, Fla. at Highlands Regional Medical Center. She was born May 6, 1938 in Sherwood Twp., the daughter of Jacob Franklin Herman and Mildred Vivian (Applegate) Herman. She married David Norris Miller on Aug. 11, 1956 at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church in Union City. They celebrated a beautiful and fulfilling 53 years of marriage. She is survived by her husband: David N. Miller; two sons: Kirk and Linda Miller of Houston, Texas and David James (D.J.) and Raisa Miller of Key Largo, Fla.; two daughters: Rebecca and Les Weaver of Houston, Texas and Lucinda Miller of Loveland, Colo.; eleven grandchildren: Ryan, Josh, Kelsey, Melinda, David James, Brionna, Bonnie, Brittan, Bailey, Brandon and Marlis; one sister: Suzanne M. Sinclair and Herb Keller of Battle Creek; two brothers: Gerald T. and June Herman of Standish and James D. and Sandy Herman of Sherwood and a host of nieces and nephews, all of whom brought great joy to her in later years. Lucy was preceded in death by her mother (June 26, 1996), her father (April 30, 1968), her sister Barbara Ann Herman (March 1933) and her niece Vivica Marie Bennett (1957). Lucy was raised on the family farm in Sherwood and graduated from Union City High School in 1956. When she was younger, she was a member of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church in Union City, which her parents helped establish. She had lived and worked in the Coldwater area until 1981, when the family moved to Key Largo, Fla. While Lucy lived in Coldwater, she was an assistant surgical nurse at the Coldwater Hospital, managed restaurants at Gracie O’Shannahan’s Restaurant and the Coldwater Country Club lounge and she owned the L & M auto dealership. When she lived in Florida, she was an entrepreneur and consultant, owning and operating the Trade Winds hotel and several family restaurants until she eventually retired in 1998. Lucy had a lifelong friend since grade school — Sharon (Brown) Curtis of Quincy. They had kept in touch all through these years — Sharon writing once a week and Lucy phoning for their weekly Sunday conversations. No one could have had a truer friend. Lucy had a wonderful smile that could light up a room and she always made people feel welcome. She never considered anyone a stranger. She had a very unique way of making people feel comfortable, always extending a warm hug and cordial conversation. She loved socializing and going to restaurants with family and friends. She relished the time spent with everyone. Visitation will be held at Bachman Hebble Funeral Service after 12 noon Friday, March 26, 2010, where the family will be present from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. A Funeral Mass will be said for Lucille Miller on Saturday, March 27, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. at the St. Joseph Catholic Church, 61 North 23rd Street, Battle Creek, with Rev.
