In memory of Alice Veldkamp 1919-2009 |
Alice
Veldkamp,
age 90, of Grandville, was called home to her Lord and Savior on
Thursday,
October 15, 2009. Alice was a woman of grace who put her family first.
Along
with her hobbies of baking and cooking, (especially her famous
applesauce), her
grandchildren were her priority. As well as being fun loving, she
inherited her
gift of feistiness from her mother and used it to stand firm in her
convictions
of faith and character. Her life was lived and defined by the Fruits of
the
Spirit. She had the gift of helping others, where she volunteered at
church
serving others in many ways. She was preceded in death by her loving
husband,
Alfred Veldkamp; siblings, Grace, Marian, John and several dear
brothers-in-law
and sisters-in-law. She will be lovingly remembered by her children and
grandchildren, Nancy and Russ Brubaker and their children, Kevin and
Kendra
Brubaker, Christopher Brubaker (Lindsey Haskins), Kyle Brubaker, Travis
Brubaker; Susan and Mel Mejeur and their children, Jenni Mejeur (Mike
Battle),
Sara Mejeur, Eric Mejeur, Faith Mejeur and her fiancé, Brent
Laubaugh; Marilyn
and Bob DeJong and their children, Laura and Ben Normington, Tim
DeJong, Steven
DeJong, Hannah DeJong; her very first and precious great granddaughter,
Allison
Normington; sisters, Joann Workman, Marva Jacobson; sister-in-law,
