Dewey Leon Mackens was a caring, loving husband, brother, uncle, and friend. He passed away peacefully with family on the 5th of August 2022.

While working in his formative years at Harry’s Market, he met and married the love of his life, June. Dewey spent his career at McLouth Steel in Trenton, Michigan.

Dewey was an avid gardener, any visit to his house in Wyandotte included an extensive tour of the flowers and vegetables of the season. He was devotedly active in his church, both managing the vegetable gardens and cooking for various charity events. He also enjoyed the Detroit Tigers – there was aways a transistor radio nearby tuned into the game.
Dewey is preceded in death by his parents Herbert Staten and Lola Mackens, his wife June Mackens, his brothers Warren, Herbert, Ralf, and David Mackens, and his dear friend Grace Powell.

He is survived by his sister Judy Mackens, sisters-in-law Wava (Warren), Judy (Herbert), Bonnie (Ralf), and Sharon (David) Mackens and multiple nieces and nephews.

Diane was a very faith-filled, loving, joyful, and caring wife, mother, grandma, great grandma, sister, and friend. Her family was her life.  She enjoyed cooking, baking, volunteering at church and Pro-Life events, and shopping; not only for herself but for family and others who she knew were in need.  Diane also loved physical fitness.  She was an aerobic instructor at one time and had run two Detroit Free Press Marathons in her forties.  She also volunteered for the Avon Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk, the Michigander Bike Tour, and went on the World Youth Day weeklong Pilgrimage in Toronto in 2002.  You could often see her working outside in her front yard.  And too, Diane loved dancing, especially with her children and grandchildren at birthdays and family get togethers.  But most of all, Diane’s joy came from hearing from and spending time with her grandchildren.  Diane was deeply loved by all her family and friends and is greatly missed.
