Mary Jeanette Kinde, of Carrollton Township, age 85, passed away peacefully on Thursday evening, November 5, 2026, at Covenant Healthcare in Saginaw. She was born on March 27, 1941, in Saginaw, Michigan, to Ralph and Mary (Ziegler) Nunamaker.

Mary graduated from Saginaw High School with the Class of 1964. On June 26, 1965, she married the love of her life, David Edward Kinde, at St. Stephen Catholic Church in Saginaw. Together, they shared 55 wonderful years of marriage, building a lifetime of memories. Mary was also a faithful member of St. John Paul II Parish, St. Josaphat Catholic Church in Carrollton, for many years.

Mary was a devoted homemaker who found her greatest happiness in caring for her family and enjoying life's simple pleasures. She loved getting together with friends at the Eagles Club, where good conversation and a delicious burger were always part of the fun. She also enjoyed working on her favorite word search puzzles, listening to the music of the 1950’s, and spending time at the Senior Club in Carrollton. Whether visiting with friends or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon, Mary appreciated the little things that made life special. Above all, her family and friends held a special place in her heart, and she treasured every moment spent with those she loved.

Surviving are her two sons and daughter, Paul (Gina) Kinde, Jenni Kinde and her fiancé, Brian Niven, and David E. Kinde II and his fiancé, Vicki Combs, all of Saginaw; four grandchildren, Ashley Kinde, Amanda (Dan) Leddy, Collin Kinde, and Hunter; one sister, Gail (Carl Ellinger) Nunamaker; one brother, Randy Nunamaker; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

Mary was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, David; and her siblings, Patricia, Ralph, Gloria, and Rosie.

In keeping with Mary's wishes, cremation has taken place, and no services are planned at this time.
