Connie M. Kunde

Connie Marlene Kunde (78) of Alto, Michigan, passed peacefully at home with family on December 30, 2025.
Connie was preceded in death by her parents, Calvin and Madeline Buehler, her husband of 55 years, Kurt Kunde, and her son Michael. She is survived by her daughter, Allison Kunde, her daughter's partner, Aric Smith, her grandchildren, Fiona and Hawke, and many other beloved family members.
In earlier years, Connie was a Dental Assistant, and loved leading Sunday School, and singing (with her beautiful alto voice) in choirs. She was also always a nurturer, who loved cooking for people, and making sure she sent out birthday cards. In recent years, she loved being "Nana"; playing catch with the grandkids in the lawn, buying them Legos, and giving them all the sweets.
