Obituary

Evelyn J. Nagelkerk (Olthoff) age 92, of Grand Rapids, peacefully went to be with her Lord on Tuesday, September 25, 2018. She was preceded in death by special niece Patti Morren. She is survived by her loving husband of 70 years, John; children, Bill and Harriett Nagelkerk (Heather and John Den Houter, Holly and special friend Gerald Melbourne, Nathan and Lisa Nagelkerk) Bob Nagelkerk (Brittany and Matt Huff Nagelkerk), Tom and Jean Nagelkerk (Jonathan Nagelkerk, Jennifer Nagelkerk), Jack Nagelkerk (Dan, Kim and her significant other Jacob, Thomas, Jake, and Ben Nagelkerk); former daughter-in-law Cindy Nagelkerk; Tim and Kathy Nagelkerk (SSgt. Isaiah and Mizuki Nagelkerk, Rachael Nagelkerk, SSgt. Zachary Nagelkerk, Joshua Nagelkerk); 11 great grandchildren; brother Bill (Beth) Olthoff; sister-in-law Kathleen “Toots” (Jay) Morren; many nieces, nephews, and cousins; Marian “Mimi” Owen (special friend to Evelyn and mother to Brittany, Emily and Elizabeth). Evelyn loved her Lord and Savior and was a charter member of Brookside Christian Reformed Church. She was a servant to the Lord and a friend and servant to all she met. Evie loved flowers, Lake Michigan, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. Evelyn and John were recently blessed with celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary. God’s will is past our understanding as Evelyn enjoyed a healthy, active life until a single mosquito infected her with the West Nile Virus and brought her home to be with her Lord. Funeral services will be held Saturday 11:00 am at Brookside Christian Reformed Church (3600 Kalamazoo Ave. SE). The family will greet friends and family at Brookside church on Friday 5 to 8 pm and on Saturday prior to the service from 10 to 11 am. Memorial contributions in Evelyn’s memory may be made to Faith Hospice at Trillium Woods.
