Irma Alvarado DeJonge, age 65, of Wyoming, went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Monday, November 9, 2020.  She was preceded in death by her parents, Miguel and Celia Mendez; brother, Ruben Garcia; sisters, Julia Esquivel, and Janey Garcia, granddaughter, Bianca Arellano; close friends, Luis Ramirez Jr., Marlene Fowler Wolters, and “Bonnie” Ketner. She will be lovingly remembered and missed by her husband of 24 years, Scott DeJonge; children, Leila (Roman) Arellano, and Tony (Tina) Fuentes; grandchildren, Dustin (Darcy) Fuentes, Brittney Fuentes (William Pleasants), Lacey Arellano, Antonia Fuentes, Anthony, Ant, Alena, Titi, D.D., Tae, and Brillo Fuentes; great-grandchildren, Olivia Fuentes, Emilie Fuentes, Zaelyn Pleasants, Zaleiya Pleasants, and Zalani Pleasants; sisters, Maria Garcia, and Josefina Rodriguez; brothers, Mario (Anna) Mendez, and Emilio (Laurie) Mendez; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends too many to mention.  Irma spent her working career as a waitress at Little Mexico and Alma Latina Restaurants, a kitchen helper at Maggie’s Restaurant, and a cafeteria worker at the Hendrik Meijer Corporate Office. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and the anchor for her family.  She was a “crafty” person who loved to sew and crochet. Irma made sure that each newborn received a cross-stitched frame with their name on it when they were born and a “first” holiday celebration card.  She will be remembered by many for faithfully sending out her special stamped birthday cards which she always took pride in selecting just the right one for each recipient She was a one of a kind baker, known as “Grandma Cake” because she made cupcakes and sweet breads for everyone during the holidays and on their birthdays. According to her wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of Irma’s life will be held at a later date.
