Mrs. Pauline Stegehuis, age 92, was received into heaven on Sunday, February 28, 2010. She was a stay-at-home mom who was very dedicated to her family. Pauline loved to cook and bake and her children fondly remember her pumpkin chiffon pies and homemade macaroni and cheese. She would take the city bus with her children to visit downtown Grand Rapids to shop. Later in life, she learned to drive under the tutelage of her loving husband. After much ado, she received her driver's license, but found driving much too stressful. For ten years she worked as a sales clerk and secretary for Steketees. She was a member of First Congregational Church, UCC of Rockford. Mrs. Stegehuis is survived by her children, Linda (Chris) Wuellner of Escanaba, Tom Stegehuis of Belmont, Mrs. Mollie Bryan of Lowell, Jack (Anne) Stegehuis of Caledonia; ten grandchildren; one great grandson; nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Henry on January 25, 2000; son-in-law, Frank Bryan; brother, Chester Peabody; sisters, Marian Owen and Maxine Haase. The service for Mrs. Stegehuis will be Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. at the Pederson Funeral Home with Pastor Laura TenHave-Chapman officiating.  Interment in Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens.
