Desiree Marie Cowling

Desiree Marie Cowling passed away peacefully unexpectedly July 1st, 2021. Born on January 16, 1978 to Janice and Robert Cowling at Butterworth Hospital. She loved to tell others that she was born during the big snowstorm. From day one Desiree was met with challenges that she conquered and lived a happy and productive life. Desiree had a smile that could light up a room and a hug that would warm your heart. She attended Lakewood and Ionia Schools and graduated from the Ionia Independent Living Center. She enjoyed participating in showing cattle at the fair alongside her sister Ceaira. Her love of people and animals brought her to become a volunteer at Thornapple Manor and Ionia Humane Society. Desiree was also acknowledged as March of Dimes "Miracle Baby" First poster child.
