Also dear to June’s heart were her church family at Hope CRC and many special friends.   The family would also like to thank the wonderful staff at Blodgett Hospital and Faith Hospice who cared for June these last few weeks.  June was a wonderful, caring, loving wife, mother and grandmother who had a servant’s heart.  She always thought of others before herself and even in the hospital wanted to make sure that others were taken care of.  She was dedicated to her family and especially her grandchildren.  She attended her children’s and grandchildren’s sporting events and activities, where she was known as the “Candy Lady” because she always passed around her purse which was brimming with candy and gum.  June drove the special needs bus for Grandville Public Schools for 22 years.  The memorial service will be held Monday, September 23 at 11:00 am at Hope Christian Reformed Church, 3110 Barrett St. SW, Grandville with Rev. Dale Fopma presiding.   Friends and relatives may meet the family from 5 - 8 pm on Sunday, September 22 at the Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home (Grandville), 4145 Chicago Dr SW, 49418.  Memorial contributions may be made to Hope Christian Reformed Church, Faith Hospice, or Grandville Area Friendship Ministries.
