John R. Guthrie

John is preceded in death by his parents. Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 50 years, Sandra Guthrie; son, John (Linda) Guthrie; granddaughter, Ava Guthrie; sisters, Sharon Andersen, Pat (Ron) Howe, Colleen (Paul) Nevills; and many nieces and nephews.

John served in the U.S. Navy and was a longtime member of the DeWitt VFW Post 671. He worked for General Motors as an electrician for 30 years, when including overtime hours this became 35 years. John loved animals, especially his pets, and other wildlife. He enjoyed Detroit Lions sports and, with some convincing from his son, University of Michigan sports, too.

Interment will occur at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens.

Contributions in memory of John may be made to Sparrow Hospice or ASPCA.
