July 20, 1929 — October 18, 2021

Bad Axe

We announce the loss of our loved one, Ramona Kaczuk, 92, of Bad Axe, on October 18, 2021, surrounded by family at the home of her daughter. Ramona entered the world during the Depression of 1929 in Pinconning, MI. She was the youngest of four children born to George and Laura (Foco) McFarlane.
She married Thomas Kaczuk in 1951 in Detroit where she was a stay-at-home mother of five that prided herself on maintaining a meticulous house and beautiful yard and garden.
In 1967, self-employment opportunities took the family to Au Gres where she and Thomas opened the Au Gres Inn. Hard work and long-lasting family memories were made during that time.
Their next move took them to Bay City for a few short years. It was there where Mona started her new employment with the State of Michigan, Department of Agriculture, which she enjoyed so very much. Surveying took her travels statewide and she loved talking with farmers about their crops.
In 1977, it was onward and upward to their final destination, Bad Axe, where she worked her way up to a supervisor position. After her husband’s untimely death in 1988, Mona lived with her daughter Kelly where they loved decorating for the holidays and staying at the Gold Coast in Las Vegas. She continued to perform crop and flower surveys for the State of Michigan until illness “forced” her into early retirement in 2014 at the age of 85.
Mona enjoyed the 3 C’s: crocheting, casino trips, and card club every month with her dear, lifelong friends. She always looked forward to her great-grandchildren coming over. She enjoyed her last years very much at the home of her daughter, Laurie. Adilyn made her coffee and treated her to foot massages with lotion, Kylen always shared his treats with her, and Maxwell would recite the Pledge the Allegiance.
Mona is survived by her five children: Laurie (Ric) Beaver of Bad Axe, Kathy Knoblock of Lexington, SC, Tom (Sue) Kaczuk of Bad Axe, Judy (Jim) Baird of Bad Axe, and Kelly Kaczuk of Bad Axe. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Josh (Joe), Kristy (Ted), Jessica, Emily, Arianna (Dave), Kerry (Adam), Sarah, Nicole (David), T.J. (Chrissy), Stephanie (Drew), and Jimmy (Erin). She had 16 great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Mona was preceded in death by her husband of 37 years, Thomas, brothers: Jerome and George McFarlane, sister-Alice Slack, and granddaughter-Jill Knoblock.
A memorial service will be at 11:00am Saturday, October 23rd at the Champagne Funeral Chapel in Pigeon with Rev. Karen Bouverette. Interment will be in Sacred Heart Catholic Cemetery in Bad Axe.  Memorials may be made to the family.
