Slager, Harriet J. Grand Rapids, Michigan Harriet Jean Slager, born July 11, 1930 fell asleep for the last time before waking up in the presence of the Savior she served, on Sept. 29, 2017. Her parents were Teresa (Tuin) and Peter Vander Klok. A tireless worker, whether in the workplace or at home, she stayed active until the day of the stroke which brought her rest. She will be remembered by those who knew her as a loving, generous and forgiving person. She leaves behind her husband of 66 years, Ralph; her sons, Dan and Dutch; her daughter, Ruth (John) Lemmenes; grandsons, Berant (Heather) Lemmenes, David and Matthew Lemmenes; great-grandsons, Michael and Cole Lemmenes; sister, Trudi (Bill) Newhouse; sister-in-law, Dorothy (Keith) Boyce; in-laws, Ken and Alice Slager. A funeral service will be held Wednesday, October 4, 2017, 1:00 pm at Brookside CRC (3600 Kalamazoo SE) with Rev. Paul DeVries officiating. The family will receive relatives and friends at Zaagman Memorial Chapel (2800 Burton St. SE) on Tuesday from 5-8 pm as well as one hour prior to the service at church on Wednesday. Harriet's lifelong attitude was to give to anyone who would benefit from her help, so in memory of Harriet, please be kind and helpful to those around you.
