Annetta Mae Vroegindewey, age 87, went to be with her Lord and Savior January 30, 2020. Annetta was born December 28, 1932 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, a daughter of Harry and Tina (Napp) Bussema. She was a lifelong Kalamazoo resident and member of Centerpoint Church (formerly Third Reformed Church). Annetta spent most of her adult life caring for her family, first as a wonderful homemaker, later caring for her grandchildren and finally as a loving caregiver to her husband in the last years of his life. Faith, family and prayer life were very important to Annetta. She also enjoyed bowling, golfing and in retirement loved wintering at their home in Florida. On May 15, 1953, she was united in marriage to Gerald E. Vroegindewey, who preceded her in death on July 2, 2012. She was also preceded in death by her parents, a son-in-law Steven Smith, a sister-in-law Helen Bussema and a brother-in-law Ivan Canavan. Surviving are her five children: Terry (Jill) Vroegindewey, Doug (Linda) Vroegindewey, Sally (Rich) Baas, Laurie (Mark) Hancock all of Kalamazoo and Sharon Smith of Highlands Ranch, CO; 12 grandchildren; 20 great-grand-children; a brother Carl (Hazel) Bussema; a sister-in-law Ann Canavan; several nieces, nephews and cousins. Visitation will be Tuesday, February 11th from 12:30 to 2:00 pm at Centerpoint Church, 2345 North 10th Street. Services will begin at 2:00 pm in the Centerpoint Chapel, with Pastor Dar VanderWal officiating. Private interment will be held in Ft. Custer National Cemetery.
