Rosalyn A Kettner

Rosalyn Kettner, age 91, passed away peacefully on March 31, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family. Born on November 25, 1934, Rosalyn lived a long and meaningful life marked by devotion to her faith and family. She was the beloved wife of Edward Kettner, with whom she shared an extraordinary 70 years of marriage, a testament to their enduring love and commitment. Rosalyn was a devoted mother to Cindy Kettner, Claudia Gedert (Dave Gedert), Mark Kettner (Julia Kettner), Cathy Lang (Jeff Lang), and Candi Kettner. She was predeceased by her cherished son, Michael Kettner, who remained forever in her heart. Rosalyn was a graduate of Oakland University, where she earned her degree before dedicating her professional life as a Medical Technologist at St. Joseph Hospital in Pontiac. She took great pride in her work and the care she provided to others. Rosalyn was a proud and loving grandmother to 19 grandchildren and a great-grandmother to 20. Her family was her greatest joy, and she treasured every moment spent with them. Family vacations to Ludington were a highlight of Rosalyn's summers. She loved camping with her children and continued the tradition with her grandchildren for many years to come. In more recent years, she loved hosting some of her grandchildren for "Kamp Kettner" every summer, treating them to a resort-style week of fun. She never turned down the opportunity for a card game with her family, beating everyone else more often than not. She loved logic puzzles and word games and was always in the middle of a jigsaw puzzle. Rosalyn also loved football, always counting down the days to a new season. A woman of strong faith, Rosalyn was a devoted parishioner of St. Kieran Catholic Church. For many years, she served at funeral luncheons and recruited her grandkids to help run "coffee and donuts" on Sundays. She had a strong devotion to the Divine Mercy and spent time reflecting on the image every day. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered. Family and friends will gather to celebrate Rosalyn's life with a visitation at the Wm. Sullivan & Son Funeral Home 8459 Hall Road (3 Blks E. of Van Dyke) Utica on Monday, April 6, 2026 from 2-8 pm with a rosary at 5 pm.
