Remembering Jennie J. Schultz

Jennie J. Schultz, aged 51 of Grand Rapids passed away unexpectedly at her home on Sunday, February 5, 2017. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Richard Wheaton, Charles Taivaloja; father, Charles Yalmer Taivaloja; and stepfather, Carl Wheaton.

Her smile lit up the room. She was definitely one of a kind. She loved being outdoors dancing in the beautiful sunshine. If you had the pleasure of meeting her, you couldn't help but to fall in love with how sweet and loving she was.  Jennie's grandbabies were her pride and joy. Funeral services for Jennie will be held Wednesday, February 15, 2017 at 4:00 pm at the Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Chapel (Kentwood), 4646 Kalamazoo Ave. SE. The family will receive relatives and friends on Wednesday from 12 noon until 4 pm.
