Kimberley Anne Krause-Ellis

Kimberley Anne Krause-Ellis, 59, of Gobles, passed away peacefully on Thursday October 8, 2026, at Rose Arbor Hospice in Kalamazoo.

She was born July 7, 1967, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the daughter of William Krause and Elena (Arrans) Krause.

Kim was a hard worker in everything that she did. Her friends and family looked forward to seeing her smiling face and enthusiasm every day. She collected various objects including Emmett Kelly Jr Clowns, anything "Coke" and most of all, rocks! Kim loved to thrift and found a lot of items in her collections at thrift stores. She enjoyed traveling, especially to Florida and Disney World. The beach was her happy place and she looked forward to her trips there. Above all else, Kim adored her family. Her grandbabies were her world and she took every opportunity she could to spend time with them. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

She is survived by her children, Jacob (Tamera) Ellis and Alyssa (Alec Barnas) Ellis; grandchildren, River Barnas, Elias Ellis, Theodore Barnas, and Aurora Ellis; mother, Elena Krause; father, William Krause; and siblings, Kaye (Andy) Johnson and William (Karen) Krause II; along with many beloved aunts, uncles, cousins and special friends.

Family and friends are invited to visit on Friday, October 16, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Adams Funeral Home, 502 W. Michigan Avenue, Paw Paw. Kim will be laid to rest at Hicks Cemetery in Bangor at 1:30 p.m.
