Obituary of Kari Marlene Deeds

Kari Marlene Deeds, 42, of Buchanan, passed away unexpectedly but of natural causes at Spectrum Health Butterworth in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Monday, September 13, 2021. Kari was born on July 6, 1979, to Robert and Debra (Ford) Deeds in South Bend. Kari attended Buchanan High School and had three children, Keith “Madison”, Kalem, and Kyla. Kari was the comic relief, shop till you drop, always there to help out kind of person. She would help others even if it meant going without herself but don’t cross her or you’d regret it. She got joy in making people laugh, caring for others, and most of all she got joy from her family. She was preceded in death by her mother, Debbie Deeds in 2020. Kari is survived by her children, Madison Clark of Galien, Kalem (Emma Carson) Clark of Galien, and Kyla Bradshaw of Grand Rapids; one grandson, Karver; sister, Jodi Deeds of Buchanan; boyfriend, “T” Brown of Buchanan; and many extended family members and close friends. Funeral services to celebrate Kari’s life will be held on Friday, September 17, 2021, at Brown Funeral Home in Niles at Noon with visitation beginning at 10:30 a.m. Those wishing to make a memorial donation in Kari’s memory may do so to the family here on Kari's memorial page or by calling the funeral home at 269-683-1155.
