Kayla Lynn Outman gained her angel wings surrounded by family and friends in her childhood home on February 14, 2025 after a long and courageous fight against metastasized breast cancer.

Kayla, age 35 was born on January 23, 1990 in Manistee, Michigan. She is survived by the love of her life, Brett Adams, and their beautiful daughter Madelynn Mae, stepdaughters Nevaeh, and Zoey, her parents Jerry and Barb (Breen) Outman, sisters and nieces, Kim (Blake Lange and Kaylynn), Angie (Brianna, Carly, and Alexis), and her grandma Nancy, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and best friends that meant the world to her.

Kayla was preceded in death by her grandparents, Alfred and Marguerite (Plouhar) Outman and Joseph Breen.

She graduated from Manistee High School in 2008. Her career interests included speech therapy classes at West Shore Community College, housekeeping at Manistee National Golf and Resort, housekeeping then registration at West Shore (Munson Healthcare Manistee Hospital), a beauty school student at Cadillac Institute of Cosmetology, baker, cook, and mother to Maddy (her favorite role).

After fighting breast cancer the first time, Kayla became an advocate in promoting early check-ups, looking for signs, and to know your own body. Kayla's love of party planning, baking and doing hair helped in raising money for Breast Cancer Awareness with her amazing coworkers. Peanut butter cupcakes anyone?

Kayla kept her positivity and laughter through it all, she was truly humbled by the love and support she received from her coworkers and the whole community ❤️

A celebration of life is planned for Saturday, March 29, 2025 from 2:00-6:00 PM at Aki Community Center 2953 Shaw Be Quo Ung Rd. located just off of Dontz Rd from U.S. 31 North Manistee Township.
