Norma Andree Obituary
4/10/1936 - 6/4/2024
GRAND RAPIDS
Norma June Andree (nee Siereveld), age 88, passed away on the morning of June 4, 2024.
She is survived and mourned by her three children, one grand-daughter and their families, and is preceded in death by her loving husband of 64 years, John Andree. She leaves behind her sister and a legion of nieces and nephews.
Norma was the creative genius and dynamo behind Flowers of the Field, a local flower shop well known for exceptional design and originality. She loved gardening, baking, her many years at the cottage, Christmas, decorating, entertaining, and above all, her husband and family.
We will never forget her optimism and charisma, best captured in her favorite quote about overcoming adversity, "Spring always comes."
In keeping with Norma's wishes, there will be no funeral or service. Her ashes will join her husbands in a beautiful and wild place, sacred to our family, where they will remain together forever.

Norma used to deliver Christmas cookies to my aunt, Arlene DenBoer. Such a talented lady who I then saw again years later at Heron Woods. My sympathies to her family.

While we had not seen Norma in many years, her name often has come up in conversation - wondering how she was and remarking about her wonderful knack with flowers. She really was a special person and will be missed by many. Our Condolences to the Andree family. Ann Churchill & family.

Norma was the heart and soul of our condo complex. She hosted grand parties, took soup to the ailing, and cookies for a hundred different occasions. Her gardening was legendary. A wonderful spirit. We think of her and miss her daily.

To All Norma's Family, Bob and I have such wonderful memories of Norma and her zest for life, her love of beauty and her ability to make you feel so very special. We were blessed to be able to spend so many fun times carving pumpkins, visiting the beautiful cabin up in the UP, and so many casual conversations out in the driveway at Dave and Laurel's. We are saddened to hear of her passing, but she is with those love ones who have passed before her. Our lives were brightened by her. May you find peace in knowing she made the world a better place with the Joy she spread.
