Naomi Ruth Hasselbach

Naomi Ruth Hasselbach
Manchester, Michigan

Naomi, age 81, passed away peacefully in her sleep Wednesday, July 1, 2026 at Chelsea Hospital. Daughter of Cecil and Gladys Clouse, Naomi was born July 27, 1944, in Monroe, Michigan.

Naomi, known to those closest to her as “Oma”, devoted her life to caring for those she loved, always putting the needs of her family and friends before her own. Her home was a place of comfort, where everyone was welcomed with love, a warm meal, and a kind heart. She found joy in tending her garden, trying new recipes in the kitchen, and creating lasting memories around the table. The holidays were especially dear to her, and she never missed an opportunity to celebrate, bringing family together with traditions, laughter, and love. Her generosity, selflessness, and unwavering devotion to the people she cherished will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Lucinda Anne “Cindy” Zimmerman

Lucinda Anne “Cindy” Zimmerman, who warmly supported aging elders in her community for years, died June 27, 2026. She was 88.

Cindy was a model for the importance of people in our world who simply help, those who step up for jobs lacking in glamour, but that improve and enrich lives. She nearly wore her hands out writing hundreds of personal thank-you notes to those who donated to the Jackson Friendly Home, a non-profit residence for elderly women at which her mother had lived. After her mother died, Cindy continued her dedicated support. She served on the home’s board and took delight in taking “the ladies” on outings and facilitating sing-alongs.

She spent years singing in Jackson’s First Presbyterian Church choir and weekly assembled and printed the church bulletin. A trained and experienced secretary, she had a sharp eye for typos and failings of grammar. Her three children benefited from her talents, even as we grumbled to forever be directed to the dictionary when we couldn’t spell a word or endured constant correction when we mangled proper English.

Mary Ann Warren

of Chelsea, Michigan, age 82, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at Chelsea Hospital. She was born December 22, 1943, in Detroit, Michigan, the daughter of Wilbur H. and Abbie S. (Reed) Hanson.  The pillars that mom’s life stood upon were her faith, her family, service to others and teaching.

Mary Ann attended Hillsdale schools growing up and moved to Chelsea in 1959, graduating from Chelsea High School in 1962. She went on to Michigan State University to earn her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees.  She spent her entire teaching career in the Eaton Rapids Public School System.  Mary Ann was a much loved classroom teacher at Lockwood Elementary, however, she is best remembered for her fifteen plus years as a highly skilled reading instructor at Union Street Elementary.

Mary Ann and Ron made their home in rural Eaton County, near Dimondale, where they raised their family in the home they helped build.  This small farm setting provided many lifelong lessons and volumes of hilarious stories for the family.  After being Florida ‘snowbirds’ for many years, they finally settled back down where their love story began, in Chelsea.
