Doris Knipple

Doris Knipple, known by many as simply "grandma", went to be with our Lord on Friday, July 17, 2015 in the early morning hours. She was known for her unconditional love and support to those that have been blessed to have her in their lives. At the time of her death she was surrounded by her grandson, Chad, his fiance Desiree, and her great-grandson Braylon. She will always be remembered as a spunky, caring person who had nothing but love to give. She has opted not to have a funeral, and requested to have a luncheon celebrating her life instead. Luncheon date is yet to be determined and will be hosted by Chad and Desiree. Contributions and condolences can be made to them as well, should you wish to. She was survived by her children, Pam Dekkinga, Douglas Knipple, and James (Nancy) Knipple; her grandsons, Chad Dekkinga and Morgan Fitzgerald; and her three great-grandchildren, Braylon Dekkinga, Draven Fitzgerald, and Isis Fitzgerald. Honoring her wishes, cremation will take place. Arrangements are entrusted to Michigan Cremation & Funeral Care, Grand Rapids To order memorial trees or send flowers to the family in memory of Doris Knipple, please visit our flower store.
