• Douglas Paul Sprague (harborlightnews.com) — Harbor Springs is mourning the loss of 83-year-old Douglas Sprague, a lifelong local who grew up, worked, and raised his family in the community. A member of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, he was known for his love of nature, travel, and the cedar “thinking tree” outside his Harbor Springs home; no public service is planned. 
• Margaret Emily Mason (harborlightnews.com) — Family and friends are remembering Margaret “Maggie” Emily Mason of Petoskey, whose life included worship at Harbor Light Chapel in Harbor Springs and deep connections across northern Michigan. Despite a childhood brain injury, she was known for her love, puzzle skills, and joy in simple activities, and she passed peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones.
