Evalynn Grace Houseward

Evalynn Grace Houseward passed away peacefully into the arms of Jesus being cared for by loving Hospice nurses in Grand Rapids, MI. Born on February 5, 1954, her birthday celebrations were the best day of the year for her. For many years, she was a resident in the adult care residence of Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services. Evalynn was a beloved friend and companion to the staff and fellow residents of Cameron Home. The care they provided was greatly appreciated; they gave Evalynn a home and community that she enjoyed. She was loved so well. Over the years, she participated in activities she enjoyed most: singing hymns, watching the Detroit Tigers, Special Olympics, bowling, adult day programs, van rides to see the cows, and root beer floats every evening. Evalynn was the daughter of Rev. John and Trudy Houseward (deceased); sister to Tim and Ellen Houseward, Joannne and Gary VanDenend, Jonathan Houseward (deceased), and Barb and Nick Weeber; along with many nieces and nephews. A special thanks to Mila and Mindy who held her hand so faithfully the past year. A private family service will be held at Georgetown Cemetery in Hudsonville, MI on Saturday, September 5, 2020. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Pine Rest Foundation.
