Betty Anne DeVries, age 93, went to be with her Lord Thursday, November 17, 2022. She was preceded in death by her husband, John W. DeVries; son, David W. DeVries; siblings Wilma DuBois, Jerry Venlet; and brother-in-law, Marvin DeVries.
Betty will be lovingly remembered by her children Doug and Dawn DeVries, Sally and Jon Kitts; nine grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; sister, Ida “Pat” Terry; sisters-in-law Edna Venlet, Betty DeVries; and brother-in-law, Rev. James (Lucille) DeVries.
Betty was quite the athlete; she enjoyed golf, bowling and basketball. She watched college and professional basketball and especially liked the Golden State Warriors in her later years, often napping during the day to be able to stay up for the late televised games. Betty was a voracious reader and kept records of all the authors and titles she read. She was a faithful member of Westend Christian Reformed Church for more than 65 years.
Funeral services will be held 1 p.m. Monday, November 21 at Cook Funeral Home, 2067 84th St. SW in Byron Center, with visitation prior to the service beginning at 12 p.m. Rev. Brian Myers will officiate. Interment will be at Rosedale Memorial Park.
In honor of Betty, contributions may be made to West Side Christian School. The family welcomes memories and messages in their guestbook online at www.cookcaresbyron.com.
