Kathryn Rae VanDyke, age 67, of Caledonia, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 17, 2019 and was welcomed to the loving arms of the Lord. She was preceded in death by her mother, Greta DeJager; step father, Norm Lockard; step mother, June DeJager. She will be lovingly remembered by her father, Don DeJager; husband, Jim VanDyke; children, Jennifer Ishum, Jessica VanDyke, Kaycee and Lee Hansbarger; grandchildren, Jaymeson, Breslyn and Hoyt Hansbarger; sister, Jackie Liversedge; step sisters, Sally Boersma and Joan Patzer. Kathy was kind and selfless, dedicated to her Lord and to her family.  Kathy loved her summers at the beach with her children and catching more fish than her husband when they were young and more recently her Bible studies. Memorial services will be held on Monday 12 pm at Caledonia Christian Reformed Church, 9957 Cherry Valley, Caledonia, with Rev. Merlin Buwalda officiating. Relatives and friends may meet the family Monday from 10 to 12 at church. It would be important to Kathy that no money is spent on flowers, she would rather have donations be made to these charities that were very important to her, Joyce Meyer Ministries (www.joycemeyer.org) or to St Jude Children’s Research Hospital (www.stjude.org). “It is well with her soul”.

Jim: I could not believe what I was reading when I came across Kathys' obituary (looking for neighbors obituary). Please accept my heart felt sympathy and know that it was a pleasure meeting both of you thru Kammingas Auto Wash. You two were the epitome of young lovers. She will never be forgotten. HUGE HUG coming your way. I will be praying for you and your family! Lou Ann
