ALYCE KUIPERS (HENDERSON)
Alyce passed away peacefully on December 25, 2011, to return home to her Father in Heaven.
She leaves behind and is survived by her beloved children: David Kim Kuipers, Alyce Kamille Kuipers Hottinger, Kory David Kuipers, and Kari Alyce Kuipers. She is also survived by her siblings: David (Anne) Henderson, Lesley Karabach, and Ted Jamieson.
She is preceded in death by her parents Major David George Henderson, Sr. and Mary Elizabeth "Betty" Williams Henderson Jamieson Mayer.
She graduated from Roosevelt High School and studied Early Childhood Development at Bellevue Community College. Alyce was a lover of nature and all things outdoors, including animals and a tremendous love and passion for gardening in her yard and that of her childrens'. She loved to learn and study. She also loved to travel, see new places and try new things. Mom was a mover and a shaker - meaning she was always on the go. She loved music and the arts and had a great love for singing and being a member in many choirs over her lifetime as well as her special time as a member of the Total Experience Gospel Choir.
Fit, feisty, and tenacious, she possessed a zest for life like no other. She is deeply loved and profoundly missed as we mourn her untimely loss this day and always. Rest in Peace Mom... We Love You!
