Grace Vander Feer Obituary
October 9, 1925 - May 18, 2012
Grace Vander Feer passed peacefully in her home in Ontario, California at the age of 86 from pneumonia. Born to George and Gelske Tadema, Grace led a life of frugality, fear of the Lord and love of family and friends. Married to Charlie Vander Feer, the two raised a beautiful family and started a legacy that will be passed down through generations. Grace was the epitome of elegance, class, kindness, loveliness and Godliness. Grace created an environment of memories that you wanted to treasure forever. From sitting around the table with tea, cake and a deck of cards, to baking and cooking to the smell of bleach and Eau de Cologne. Grace is survived by her brother, Charlie Tadema and his wife, Marianne; sister, Nellie Zielstra; sons, Greg and Jack Vander Feer and their wives, Melanie and Nancy; grandchildren, Cristy Faria, Chad Vander Feer, Heidi Von Lind, Ryan Vander Feer and Katie Salie. She has 11 beautiful great grandchildren, Luke, Jack, Reid, Corbett, Rex, Dane, Anikka, Ryan, Bailey, Piet, Oliver and one on the way! Many thanks to Gina Amagost for the devoted hours spent as both caregiver and friend. Funeral Service to be held at Emmanuel Reformed Church in Paramount California, Wednesday May 23 at 11:00am.

Goodbye for now dearest Grandmother. Till we meet again in Heaven.
