Life Story / Obituary
Anna Marie Van Dyke, age 94, of Grand Rapids Michigan, entered Heaven on September 19, 2026, surrounded by family. She was preceded by her husband of 70 years, David S Van Dyke, daughter Carol Befus and son-in-law Cory Van Bruggen. Survived by her four other children, Barb (Bill) Watson, Ray Befus, David (Lynn) Van Dyke, Tim (Sandy) Van Dyke and Jan Van Bruggen, her 15 grandchildren and 34 great grandchildren. Surviving also are her sisters-in-law Martha Douglas and Joyce Van Dyke, many nieces and nephews. She was an accomplished seamstress, cook and loved having her grand and great-grandchildren around her. She will be greatly missed by all.
Thank you for the care and kindness from the loving staff at Cascade Trails Senior Living, where she resided the last year and a half.
