Karen Lynn TerVree, age 72 of Holland, passed away Sunday, January 29, 2023, at Holland Hospital.
Karen was born in Grand Rapids, MI April 26, 1950, to Herbert and Patricia Kammeraad. She graduated from Holland High School, then Cosmetology School in Grand Rapids, and was a lifelong resident of the area. In her younger years, she loved to listen to, sing, and dance to “disco” and big band music, even getting her grandson Zakary to gain an appreciation of the music while spending time with him. Karen worked as a cosmetologist and beautician for over 50 years, taking care of some of her favorite ladies at Appledorn up until a few weeks ago. She loved her Red Hat Society gals and her weekly card-playing group, and will forever be remembered for her “crazy hair colors”. A true pet lover at heart, she enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren which she loved dearly and will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Herbert and Patricia; grandson, Zakary TerVree; brother Craig Kammeraad, and sister Kristy Kammeraad.
Karen is survived by her son Robert (Deb) TerVree; grandchildren Halie (Shawn Lamichhane) TerVree, Casey (Jen Kendall-Kingery) Kingery, Madison (Tyler Cherry) TerVree; 4 great-grandchildren; siblings Kim Kammeraad, Mark (Chris) Kammeraad, and Kelly Kammeraad; many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends.
A memorial celebration of Karen’s life will take place in the summer.
