Remembering Annette Slot

Antoinette Slot (Veenstra), age 93, of Jenison, passed away peacefully on Wednesday November 1, 2017, into the arms of her Lord and Savior and has now received her Heavenly reward. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Lawrence; 2 brothers and 2 sisters-in-laws, her dear friend Marge Bigelow; and her grandson David VanLiere. Annette will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by her two daughters, Nancy and Dennis VanLiere, Jan and Jack Hankamp; five grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren, Joy and Greg Kobylak (Kyla, Kaden, Selah), Jennie and Matt Boelema (Bronson, Carter), Josh and Ashley Hankamp (Hunter, Callie, Arden, Jack), Laura and Mike Miller (Ethan, August), Heidi Viveiros (Chloe, Faith).  Having a servant’s heart and hands, Annette baked hundreds of meals and apple pies for family, friends and those in need.  Along with volunteering at The Other Way Ministries for 44 years, she also faithfully served at Bible Study Fellowship, The Gideons, and Faith Reformed Church.  Even though her memory was failing, Annette remained a joy-filled, content and appreciative woman of faith who was a true prayer warrior.  She was grateful to her God for His constant presence and provision. Annette lives in the hearts of all she touched. The family is grateful for the Christian heritage she passed down from generation to generation and for the loving care given by the staff at Georgetown Manor and Hospice. A celebration of Annettes’ life  will be held on Monday, November 6, 2017 at 11am at Matthysse-Kuiper-DeGraaf Funeral Home (Grandville) 4145 Chicago Dr. SW, with Rev, Bruce Osbeck officiating.  Interment Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens.  Relatives and friends may meet the family Sunday from 2-4 pm. at the funeral home, and one hour prior to the service on Monday.  Those who wish may make memorial contributions to Faith Reformed Church Food Pantry or the Sunshine Class.

— Skip and Pam Clark

Condolences and joy of knowing we will meet again near the Glassy Sea to all my cousins and friends of Aunt Annie. I have many special memories of the Slots and my cousins...especially as a boy growing up and spending time at Silver Lake with them all.

— Jim Veenstra

A very special lady has gone to be with her Lord. She served Faith Church so faithfully - so many years. Annette was such a good friend. I have missed the times we spent together going to and from church activities. She will be missed by so many people she worked with over the years. Jan and Nancy, you had a wonderful mother, and a grandmother and great grandmother to so many. Ken and I extend our sincere sympathy to the whole family. Wenda
