Howard Moths officiating.  Interment will be held at Georgetown Township Cemetery.  Relatives and friends may meet the family Tuesday from 5-8 p.m. at Matthysse-Kuiper-DeGraaf Funeral Home (Grandville) 4145 Chicago Dr. SW.  Those who wish may make memorial contributions to Rehoboth Oaks Adult Foster Care Home.

Mike and Family, So sorry to hear of you grandmother's passing. Her lovely picture, with the warm smile and jaunty red hat and scarf, seems to define and perfectly frame her obvious spirit for living life to the fullest, that's to say... "having or expressing a lively, cheerful, and self-confident manner." I'm sure that you will all continue to carry her with you in your hearts!
