Reared and educated in Holland, she was the mother of nine children, 35 grandchildren, 63 great-grandchildren, and eight great-great-grandchildren. Mom was a lover of life and all it had to offer. She was extremely proud of her children and grandchildren and shared in the joy of their accomplishments.
