It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Michelle “Miki” Renee (Donnelly) Kraker, age 62, of Hudsonville, Michigan, on Thursday, September 3, 2026.

Miki enjoyed vacationing Up North with Loren, spending time on the golf course with her golf league, cooking, and gathering with family and friends to share conversation and spirits. She will be remembered for her quick wit, generous heart, and her willingness to always lend a helping hand.

Miki was a dedicated employee of Alta Equipment Company in Byron Center, Michigan, where she cherished the friendships she made and loved her work family dearly. She was blessed with many wonderful friendships throughout her life and treasured each one. Though there are far too many to name, each of her friends held a special place in her heart and will remember Miki with great fondness.

She was preceded in death by her father and stepmother, Richard and Judy Donnelly;  mother, JoAnn Blauwkamp; and her grandparents. 

She is survived by her husband of 26 years, Loren Kraker; stepfather and stepmother, Terry and Susan Blauwkamp; stepsister, Paige and John Weenum; uncles and aunts, Ken Donnelly, Paul and Sue Lidgard, Rich and Carol Page; and many cousins and extended family and friends.

According to her wishes cremation will take place and a private family celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
