On Sunday, October 30th, Vena Marie Morford, a beloved wife, was welcomed into the arms of her Savior at the age of seventy-nine. Preceded in death by her parents, William and Naomi (Thelma) Robinson. Vena graduated from Jackson Community College with an associate’s degree and went on to become a faithful secretary for Lansing Avenue Baptist Church. Vena was a gifted pianist and organist who enjoyed playing for her church family for many years. Vena was an active member of her church and her community and is remembered as a generous woman to all who knew her, and a doting grandmother. Vena also loved playing board games and card games, eating anything sweet, and watching her favorite TV shows The Lawrence Welk Show and anything on HGTV. Vena is survived by her devoted husband of 58 years Gerald, her daughter, Rebecca (Scott) Klooster and her three grandchildren Naomi (Jon) Oostindie, Garret Klooster, and Samantha Klooster.
A celebration of her life will be held at New Life Baptist Fellowship, 6252 Burlingame Ave SW, Byron Center, MI on Saturday, November 19, at 12:00 pm. Visitation will take place one hour before services. To our wife, mom, grandma, and friend, you will be missed, and we look forward to seeing you again in Heaven!
