Melissa Modderman

Melissa Ann (Jones) Modderman, age 44, of Allendale, was called home to be with her heavenly Father on Friday, December 7, 2018. Melissa was a loving wife, mother, sister, and daughter who was a light to everyone she came in contact with. After graduating from Allendale High School, she married her high school sweetheart, Joe. Together they lived an adventurous life, taking them to Iowa, Spain, Portugal, and then back home to Allendale, Michigan. Melissa loved everyone she met and was fueled by her love for her Savior, Jesus Christ. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Joe; their children, Brooke, Grace, JJ, and Bailey; parents, Doug and Cheryl Jones; brothers, Eric (Jessica), Matt (Nicole), and Nick (Courtney); parents-in-law, Roger and Lynda Modderman; as well as many other family members and friends. The celebration of her beautiful life will be held on Tuesday, December 11, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. at Life Stream Church, 6561 Lake Michigan Dr., Allendale, MI. Interment will be held at Allendale Township Cemetery.  Relatives and friends may meet the family on Sunday from 4-6 p.m. at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home, 6651 Scott St., Allendale.  An additional visitation will be held on Monday from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at Life Stream Church.  Those who wish may make memorial contributions to Joe Modderman.
