Published in Appleton Post-Crescent on Feb. 10, 2018 Wrightstown - Gertrude Vande Hey, age 96, of Wrightstown, passed away peacefully Friday, February 9, 2018 at St. Paul Home in Kaukauna surrounded by her loving family. The daughter of the late Theodore and Josephine (Lamers) VanCuyk was born November 21, 1921. She was united in marriage to Ervin Vande Hey on May 17, 1947 at St. Paul Catholic Church in Combined Locks, and he preceded her in death in 1982. Her faith was vital to her and the numerous involvements she had in the church include being a lector, communion distributor, helping with funeral dinners, was president of the ladies society and was a long-time and dedicated member of the choir. She was also active in the community, having served as secretary of the Wrightstown School Board for 6 years and the St. Paul School Board for 3 years, was an election poll worker for 30 years, and volunteered for over 17 years at St. Paul Elder Services in Kaukauna. In her spare time she enjoyed playing cards, sewing and bowling. Gert lived her life by the mottos "if you don't have something nice to say about someone, don't say anything at all" and "if you don't like the coat you can at least like the buttons." The way she lived her life helped her to make many friends through the years. Gert was a dedicated and loving wife and mother, and was very proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She always said her family was her greatest blessing. Survivors include her children: Mary (Jerry) Kussow, Tom (Barb), Bob (Bonnie), Jack (Gail), Sue (Bob) Behnke, Mark (Therese), Jayne (Larry) Damp, Kay (Willie) Kussow, Karen (Dave) VandeVoort; grandchildren: Brad (Dawn) Kussow, Molly (Jamie) Boylan, Jenelle (Tony) Seidl, Christopher (Alisha) Nelson, Erin (Joel) Carlo, Ross Vande Hey, Anna (Kevin) Van Schyndel, Karmin (Jared) Wruck, Louis Vande Hey, Corey (Abbey) Behnke, Brian (Marie) Behnke, Colleen Vande Hey, Melissa (fiance Tyler) Vande Hey, Megan Vande Hey, Emily Kussow, Evan Kussow, Rachel VandeVoort and Tim VandeVoort; 14 great-grandchildren; 3 sisters-in-law: Lima Vande Hey, Lois VanCuyk and Dorothy Zelzer. In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by a daughter Barbara Vande Hey and grandson Benjamin Johnston.
