Born September 6, 1935 to John Herman and Hattie Ortman she attended Holland High School before working at Donelly Corp while raising five children.

She is preceded in death by her parents, sisters Carolyn Ortman, and Johanna(Case) Dekoster; husband Ronald Vander Yacht, daughters Lisa Johnson, Diane Meekhof, and Pam Vander Yacht, as well as her son Ronald Vander Yacht II.
