Alice J. Vanderlaan, age 86, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 27, 2022 with her husband, Richard "Dick" Vanderlaan, at her side. She was born on November 2, 1935 in Muskegon, MI, the fifth of six children born to Emory and Margaret Haverkate. She married the love of her life, Dick Vanderlaan, on October 13, 1956. Alice's pride and joy were her family and friends. Time spent together will forever be remembered and cherished. Alice was always up for cards, dinners out (although she was an amazing cook), visits from out-of-town guests, and a good cup of hot coffee! Alice is survived by her husband of 65 years, Richard Vanderlaan; sons, Thomas (Tammy) Vanderlaan of Lahaina, HI; Daniel (Laurel) Vanderlaan of Grand Rapids, MI; and Jack Vanderlaan of Norton Shores, MI; grandchildren, Tara (Ryan) Beishuizen, Todd (Erica) Vanderlaan, Sierra (Sandlar) Packard, Joshua (Amy) Vanderlaan, and Tayler Vanderlaan; 5 great grandchildren; and her sister, Carol Tikala of Sarasota, FL. A memorial service for Alice will be held at a later date in Muskegon, MI. Services will be coordinated by Clock Funeral Home in Muskegon, Michigan. The family wishes to thank Dick & Alice's dear friends, Dan & Nettie Tilden and Leroy & Linda Armstrong for their tireless support and presence throughout this journey. They would also like to thank the team at The Bud and Donna Somers Hospice House for their care and compassion.
