She will be missed but we rejoice that she is now in the loving arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, along with her parents William and Thressa (Kroes) Oldenburg her brother E. William Oldenburg and her former husband William J. Yff all of whom preceded her. She will be greatly missed by daughter Chris (Brian Knight) and her precious granddaughters Megan (Kyle) Weidman, Nichole, and Kacie Knight; Sister–in law Jean Oldenburg, Niece Jennifer (Ken Chapin) and Nephew Ryan Oldenburg (Bobbi) and many dear cousins and friends and her best friend and camping buddy Marita Bailey with whom she worked for over 20 years. She was born in Muskegon on September 19, 1939. She was a member of Cascade Fellowship Christian Reformed Church. She worked in various insurance agencies in Muskegon and Grand Rapids for 42 years, retiring from McAlear Associates in 1999. She was interested in family history and because of this, organized a Cousin’s Lunch for her Kroes Cousins that met monthly for years where they enjoyed each other’s fellowship. Relatives and friends may meet the family for one hour prior to the service and are invited to join immediately after the service for a time of fellowship and refreshments. At her request cremation has taken place. The celebration of life service will be held at the Cascade Fellowship Christian Reformed Church, (6655 Cascade Road, SE, Grand Rapids, Mi.).
