Community: Owosso, MI

Susan (Michalec) Krhovsky, age 94, passed away on Friday, October 1, 2021.

She was born on April 25, 1927 to Katherine (Ftak) and Paul Michalec. Her early years were spent in Owosso (living on the “boulevard”) and in Royal Oak. She lost her Mother at the young age of 16, and her Father the following year when she was only 17 1/2. Although her sister wanted her to continue high school, she had her own plans. She took a job at Redmond’s factory where she made many friends, some lasting a lifetime. In 1950 Susan married John M. Krhovsky, with whom she bore five children. The years on the dairy farm, raising children, doing chores, keeping an immaculate house despite a busy family life, polka dancing, remodeling the house whenever she had the urge to, cooking, baking kolache and traveling with her loving husband took up a major part of Susan’s life. She had a love for oil painting, reading, playing bingo, Holstein dairy shows and fairs, and occasional visits to the casino’s. Susan had great compassion for hungry animals, and enjoyed feeding the neighborhood feral cats as well as the squirrels. She was a long-standing member of both the Michigan and National Holstein Associations, a member of St. Joseph’s Catholic church for many years and later St. Paul’s Catholic church.

Susan is survived by children Carole (Ed) Houck, Marcia (Ray) Caruso, Mary Anne Warns, Martin (Mary Nell) Krhovsky, and Susan Kay (Dennis) Hoffman, as well as six grandchildren, five great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her parents, her in-laws, her loving husband John, three sisters and three brothers, son-in-law Ron Warns, and her beloved dog, Milli.
