It is with immense sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Kathryn Louise Drews, our beautiful mother- she was also a grandmother, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a friend. She was a beacon of love and strength, always there for her family. Katy didn't have an easy go at life but she was a fighter because of it, and overcame a lot of hardships. She had an amazing sense of humor and was able to laugh even through hard times- and no one could quote a movie or an episode of Seinfeld like she could! Katy also found joy in music of all kinds whether it was dancing to Prince or in the mosh pit, her light shined bright. Starting very early in life Katy found a deep love for animals of all kinds. This especially includes her small companion, Misha, who was never more than a heartbeat away no matter the occasion. She had a bright spirit and she leaves behind a legacy of kindness, laughter, and unwavering love. She will be deeply missed by her mother, Sharon Slabbekoorn, her children- Dominique Duba (Clay Duba), Cassandra Freeman and her youngest, Wade Freeman who preceded her in passing August of 2023, her 6 grandchildren, and all who were touched by her warmth. A celebration of her life will be held at New Life Christian Fellowship on July 26, 2025 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation in her name to either Caleb Smiles or the Humane Society of West Michigan.
