Dovie Sturtevant's Obituary
Dovie (Conley) Sturtevant, age 56, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, October 13, 2019. She was born on September 8, 1963 to John and Phyllis (Johnson) Conley. On October 31, 1997 she married Garrett Sturtevant and together they cherished 21 years of endless memories. Dovie was a woman who enjoyed trying anything at least once, but shopping and fashion were her specialties. She took pride in always being dressed to the nines whenever she went out. She loved shoes, especially Sketchers, she may own every style that was ever made. She enjoyed decorating and the sweet treats that came with her favorite holiday, Halloween. She was a go getter; a spontaneous woman who even surprised Garrett with wanting to skydive. She was the worlds greatest grandma and took joy in spoiling her grand babies. Above all things, she loved spending time with family and friends. Dovie was a generous; fun loving soul and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her. She is survived by her husband, Garrett Sturtevant; 2 children, Jerome (Nicole) Valero and Adam (Lisa Titus) Smith; mother, Phyllis Conley; 2 sisters, Julie (Hung) Le and Cheri (Scott Wade) Arvey; brother, John Conley II; 2 grandchildren, Liliana and Inocencia; and numerous nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her father; John Conley I; her toy poodle, Charlie and golden lab, Bo. A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:30PM Friday, October 18, 2019 at The Lee Chapel of Sytsema Funeral Home & Cremations Services, 6291 S. Harvey St. Norton Shores, MI 49444.
