She eventually made her way back to the place she loved (Traverse City), where she lived for several years while working and eventually retiring from Interlochen Public Radio.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Norman and Joyce Wangen.
She is survived by her two children, Jodi White (Todd) of Saugatuck and Chris Schuurman (Jamie DeWitt) of Jenison, her sister Linda Riemersma (Tom) of Valley City, Ohio, and niece Amy Riemersma of Avon Lake, Ohio.
As well as her grandchildren: Janna Timmerman (Alex), Ellie Schuurman, and Korrie Schuurman.
She was deeply loved by her family and will be greatly missed but forever in our hearts. A family gathering to celebrate her life will be held in Traverse City at a later date.
