Annette was preceded in death by her first husband, George Meyering; second husband, Alvin Rosema; son, Gary Meyering; grandchildren, Luke Deemter, and Shannon Schamback; and great-grandson, Micah DeWard.

Your mom was so very good to me. She sort of stepped in and became my "other mother" after my mom died. I enjoyed our chats every couple of days. Somehow she always knew the right thing to say if I was having a bad day. We had some really great conversations, laughs and visits. I knew I could call her anytime if I had a question I would have like to ask my mom but couldn't call her anymore. She would call and ask me over for a game of dominoes frequently. I think of all the games we played, I only beat her twice. Not sure if that was because she let me win or I really won. It felt pretty special when she would call and ask me to come and do something for her or help with something she couldn't do by herself. Although I have to admit flipping the matress was a bit tricky! She touched the lives of so many people. Her being gone will leave a pretty big hole in my life. I will truly miss her. I send my deepest sympathy, thoughts, love and prayer for your whole family. May you feel God's loving arms around you during this difficult time.

Your mom was always very kind to me. Although it was many years ago, I will never forget her kind words to me when I was going through a very difficult time in my life. I enjoyed my visits with her even if I didn’t particularly love dominoes. I did finally beat her the last time we played and considered that quite an accomplishment. I also appreciated her visits to my mom. She will be missed and your family has my sincere sympathy.
