Betty Kinzler

The world is a little less bright.
Betty J. Kinzler released herself from this world, May 2, 2022.
She will be remembered for her style, spunkiness, sparkle and quick smile. Betty was always a busy gal. She was a woman ahead of her time. When most women were relegated to the home, she was a business woman. Through the years she was co-owner of the Featherette Salon, the Palace Cafe’ and the Hillsdale Motel in Hillsdale, Michigan. In 1969 she fulfilled her dream and became an LPN. She enjoyed working with people at the end of life. Later, Betty also co-owned Mr. C’s Shoes in Charlotte, Michigan. Perfection was her motto and it showed in all she did. She had impeccable taste in fashion, decorating and keeping a home. She enjoyed playing the piano, cooking and adored quilting. Just a few days before passing, she commented, “I’m missing making quilts. One needs to keep creating.” When Betty married Dale Kinzler, she was introduced to a musician’s life. She loved traveling with him to “gigs” and dancing the night away. Dale brought a lightness to her and a new zest for life.
The family will be forever grateful for Dale’s constant love and care of Betty. Their love carried them through.
Betty is survived by her husband, Dale Kinzler, daughters Kathy Goldstein (Pete Rumsey), Debbie Baker (Mike), her bother Don DuDeVoire (Joan), Grandson Travis Goldstein (Liz Sanz) and good friends Sue Spicknell, Lois & Walter Green, along with her beloved dog, Buffy.
The family wants to thank Hospice of Lansing. In lieu of flowers, donate to Hospice. There is no service at this time
