Abigail "Abby" Grace Schaefer

Abigail Grace Schaefer "Abby" Auburn, Michigan Our loving daughter, sister, granddaughter and friend was given her angel wings on Sunday January 24, 2016 at Covenant Health Care-Harrison in Saginaw, Michigan. Her final days were spent surrounded by her family that Abby had touched in some way throughout her short, yet very memorable life. Age 7 years. The daughter of Benjamin W. and Jessica M. (Miller) Schaefer was born September 22, 2008 in Saginaw, Michigan and had resided in Bay County all of her life. She was a member of Fraser Road Church of God and was a student in the second grade at Trinity Lutheran School of Monitor. She was an avid soccer and basketball player, enjoyed cheerleading and had a love for animals. Abby also enjoyed some quiet time where she enjoyed reading stories and especially joke books. With Abby's passing we remind others that her life is one to be celebrated. Although we will miss her every day, especially her winning smile and her funny jokes. She will forever remain in our hearts. Left behind to cherish Abby's memories are her parents; Ben and Jessica, two brothers; Matthew and Josh Schaefer, her grandparents; Dan and Diane Schaefer of Rhodes and Karen and George Miller of Bay City, great grandparents; Camille Marek of Saginaw, Wayne Gurden of Owasso and Joan Epkey of Fowler, MI, several aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. The family would like to extend a special thank you the staff at Covenant Health Care-Harrison for the kind and compassionate care they extended to Abby and her family during the time they cared for her. A Celebration of Life Service will take place Friday, January 29, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. at Fraser Road Church of God (2755 Fraser Road, Kawkawlin, Michigan 48631). Officiating will be Rev. Rick Webb. The family will be present at the church on Friday to receive visitors from 2:00 p.m. until the time of service. Those planning an expression of sympathy are asked to consider a memorial to "The Wishes of the Family" for a memorial to be established in her memory at a later time.
