On Oct. 27, 2017, Carol Van Mersbergen took the hand of her Beautiful Savior and went home. What a joy to know that after a 10-year battle with Alzheimer’s she is now made whole and is singing with Jesus! She was born on Christmas Day 1935 to Gerrit Sr. and Cora (Van Hofwegen) Ten Kley in Edgerton, Minnesota.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 62 years, Marv; son Mark (Ronda); grandchildren Todd (Jessie), Kerri (James) Helm and Krista (Chad) Maas. The joy her great-grandchildren Melia, Case, Sawyer, Drake, Kenna and Holden brought to Nan’s life is undoubted, and will continue as she looks down from Heaven. She is also survived by her brother Gerrit (Marie), sister-in-law Fran Ten Kley; numerous nieces and nephews and other relatives.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Edith, and brothers Dick, Marvin, Adrian and Clarence.
A time of visitation will be from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 1, in Gillies Funeral Home.
A celebration of her life will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 2, in Third Christian Reformed Church, 514 Liberty St., Lynden. Private family burial will be in Monumenta Cemetery of Lynden.
Memorials may be made to Cascade Christian Services or Lynden Christian Schools.
