Alice Rose (Boss) Van Stedum passed away peacefully into the arms of Jesus on October 2, two days after her 91st birthday. Beloved wife of the late Abe Van Stedum (2005); mother of Phillip (Colleen) of Hudsonville, Jann (Dean) of Canada, Jill (Mike) of Twin Lake, and Mark (Sunny) of South Korea; grandmother to Shad and Colter, Jill, Abigail and Megan, Chris, Nathan and Katie; great grandmother of 13. Alice was born in Atwood, Michigan in 1929 and grew up in Charlevoix. Daughter of the late John and Jenny Boss, she was predeceased by two sisters and six brothers and is survived by three sister-in laws and many nephews and nieces. She and Abe lived in Grand Rapids, Jenison, and Croton. Alice loved her family and particularly delighted in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her culinary skills were well known and much appreciated by family and friends. Alice discovered a talent for real estate sales toward the end of her career which gave her great satisfaction. Cremation has been arranged by VanderLaan Funeral Home. A graveside service will be held when it is safe to travel and gather.

I am sorry to hear of Alice’s passing and only found about about Abe’s passing a couple of years ago. My Condolences to the Van Stefum family. I met Alice several times since I was Abe’s helper at Quality Air for about 6-7 months in 1986-87. It was after her breast cancer. She just Love Life and was a very happy soul. You could tell she was the Love of Abe’s life and he adored her tremendously. Would tell me stories of them and some of their adventures. Abe was the same age as my Dad. He love to give advice on life! Once again, my most sincerest Condolences!
