Ann B. Van Belkom

Ann B. Van Belkom, age 90, of Kimberly, passed away peacefully in the presence of her loved ones Monday June 29, 2015. Those that knew Ann (Annie) knew her as a kind, sweet soul. Mom loved cooking for her family and in the Dutch tradition was always quick to offer food and baked goods to those visiting their home in Kimberly. Ann was born in Tilburg, The Netherlands, on November 1, 1924. She married John F. Van Belkom on April 18, 1950. John, Annie, and family moved to the Fox Valley in 1959. They both loved being with their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Spending time tending the flowers in their rock garden and traveling extensively throughout the United States, Europe and the Middle East were activities they both enjoyed.

She will be greatly missed and was preceded in death by her loving husband John and is survived by daughters: Marianne (Wayne) Verboomen, Appleton, Marie (Dan) Martin, Townsend; a son: Tony (Sue) Van Belkom, Franklin, TN; ten grandchildren: Jennifer, Sarah, Lisa, Christopher, Joel, Amanda, Sandy, Amy, Kristin, Anna; and 11 great-grandchildren.

A celebration of her life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 1, 2015 at St. Paul's Catholic Church, 410 Wallace Street in Combined Locks. Father Andrew Kysely will officiate. Visitation will be held from 1:00 p.m. until the time of mass.

The family wishes to extend their gratitude to Affinity Visiting Nurses' Hospice and Kimberly Assisted Living for their excellent care and thoughtfulness.

You will be missed….. We love you.
