The Beaver Island Forum reported Gertrude “Gretchen” Kantzer’s death in December 2015. A reply recalled that she and Sherman Kantzer had owned the Beachcomber during its restaurant period.
The forum record links to an obituary but does not preserve its text. The Beachcomber connection is therefore retained as a community recollection rather than treated as independently verified biography.

- The initial post linked to a Mortensen Funeral Homes obituary. A reply identifies her as Gretchen and recalls that she and Sherman owned the Beachcomber when it operated as a restaurant. The archived forum thread does not preserve the obituary text, so no additional biographical or funeral details are inferred here.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 09 · t009750
