Fern R. Hopkins

Fern R. Hopkins, 85, of Fenwick, went to be with her Lord Wednesday October 30, 2019 at Spectrum Health- Butterworth Campus. Fern was born on July 1, 1934 near Blanchard, the daughter of  Myron and Bernice ( Harper) Campbell. She graduated from Belding High School. In her working years Fern had worked as a nurse at the Belding Hospital and later as an assembler at the Chrysler Trim Plant in Lyons and later for Electrolux in Greenville. She enjoyed playing the accordion and an occasional trip to the casino. She enjoyed her monthly lunch meetings with the members of the Class of 1954 and the workers from her Chrysler years. Fern loved family time, whether at the holidays, birthday parties and the many family get togethers, she dearly loved those times. She also dearly loved and enjoyed her minions. Some folks thought she could relate so well to them because of her size, but it did not matter to Fern. She will be greatly missed by all.
