Kathleen "Katie" Pohl, 93, of Rosebush and formerly of Beal City passed away Sunday, December 24, 2023, at Rosebush Manor with her loving family by her side. Katie was born February 25, 1930, in Isabella County, Michigan, daughter of the late Julius A. and Bertha A. (Dole) Schumacher. A 1949 graduate of Beal City High School, Katie married Gerald Pohl on November 29, 1952, at St. Philomena Catholic Church in Beal City. She loved to play cards and belonged to a card club. An avid golfer, Katie once recorded a hole-in-one. She and Gerald drove across the United States to follow nephew, Dan Pohl, on the PGA Tour, and loved any road trips with Gerald, sometimes on a moment's notice. She often attended sporting events of her children, grandchildren, and even great grandchildren. Whenever the grandchildren came to visit, they were sure to find a full cookie jar of delicious homemade cookies.
