Obituary for Jamie R. Warmack
Jamie Rae Warmack, 53, passed away unexpectedly on July 5, 2020, at Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo, MI. She was born on November 1, 1966, in Battle Creek, MI, to Vonda (McPeake) and James Ray Williams.
As a teenager, she was very active in the Auxiliary Juniors of the Oscar Brady American Legion Post 298. In 1983, she was elected as President of the Auxiliary and served two years. In 1984, she was elected Poppy Queen on the Post. She was also selected to attend Girls State that year. Jamie was a member of the Civil Air Patrol and was a flight commander.
In 1984, she was chosen to participate in the Michigan competition of the Miss American Co-ed pageant. Jamie was a 1985 graduate of Harper Creek High School and the cosmetology program at the Calhoun Area Vocational Center. In 2007, she graduated from Kellogg Community College with an associate’s degree.
At the time of her death, she was employed by Medical Resource Management in Kalamazoo. Through the years, she worked for several employers, including Goodwill, Firekeepers, Compass Food Group and various home health care businesses.
Jamie was one of the most thoughtful, caring individuals...always willing to help take care of others. Her love for her family was her top priority.
She is survived by her son, Robert Shields, Jr.; daughter, Monica Warmack; granddaughter, Adelynn Lou Warmack; a special nephew, Shayne (Tammy) Warmack, who was more like her son; siblings, Lynn (Karen) Warmack, Teresa Koetting and Stephen Koetting; along with several nieces, nephews and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Cheryl Sue Warmack and her maternal grandparents Loren and Hattie Lucille (Inman) McPeake.
Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions, Jamie will be cremated and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Memorial donations can be made to the family.
