Betty Nafe Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Harris Funeral Home - Shelby on Aug. 6, 2025.
It is with deep love and gratitude that we celebrate the life and share the passing of Betty Amanda Huston-Baerman-Nafe who went to be with the Lord at the age of 102. She passed peacefully at home August 3, 2025.

Born at home in Oceana County, Betty was a woman of amazing strength and unshakable faith. She dedicated much of her life to serving others – most notable through her 30 years of preparing countless chicken dinners for those in need at the Muskegon Rescue Mission. Becoming affectionately knows as, "The Chicken Lady".

When not serving others, Betty enjoyed cheering on her Detroit Tigers. Baseball brought her joy, but it was her faith and family that brought her the greatest fulfillment.

Betty leaves behind a legacy of service, kindness and love. That legacy is being continued by: her four sons and one daughter; 12 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; 1 great-great-grandchild.

A celebration of Betty's life will be held 11:30 am, Friday, August 15, 2025, at White Lake United Methodist Church, 8555 Cook Street, Montague, Michigan, 49437, with Pastor Timothy Dibble officiating. The family will receive friends from 11 am until the start of service at the Church. A luncheon will be provided after the service.

Please consider memorial contributions to: White Lake United Methodist Church, where Betty's sprit and compassion will live on.

Harris Funeral Home, in Shelby, is in charge of arrangements.
