Joyce E. Heuvelman

Joyce Elaine Heuvelman, also known as Granny, 92, of Holland, MI, passed away on July 8, 2025, in Douglas, MI.

Joyce was born in Zeeland, MI, to John and Lucy Schreur on April 24, 1933. She graduated from Beaverdam Christian School in 1946. She worked at Fleetwood Furniture Manufacturer for over 30 years. She enjoyed taking family vacations, shopping, gardening and being outside in the sun. She was an avid knitter: she loved making afghans and homemade dishcloths for those she loved. Many of us still use them daily and think of her. She gave the best hugs and always told her family she loved them. Joyce is survived by her daughter, Vicky Brouwer and her son-in-law, Larry Vera of Holland, as well as her Grandson, Derick & Gemini Brouwer (Naya, Jase), Granddaughter, Stephanie & Jacob deBoer (Elexis, Luke); Grandson, Beau & Charity Vera (Jillian, Kingston, Kasen), Granddaughter, Erika & Bob Stoddard (3 kids and 6 great grandkids), all of Holland, and her sister Jan Harsevoort (Dwayne). She is preceded in death by her brother, Gerald Schreur and her sister, Nancy Schreur.

A private graveside will take place at Beaverdam Cemetery. The family wishes to extend gratitude to the staff at Douglas Cove Healthcare Center, and a special thank you to Patricia for treating Mom like family.
