Margaret Voetberg, age 97, went home to be with her Lord on April 17, 2021. She was preceded in death by her late husband, Jacob S. Voetberg, in 2010. Margaret was a longstanding member of Rusk Christian Reformed Church. She is survived by her children: Sonya and William DeWitt of Round Rock, TX; Marian and James Jordan of New York, NY; Ruth Stassen of Holland; Henry and Vicki Voetberg of Holland; Margaret and John Timmer of Holland; and Esther and Craig Raterink of Zeeland; 10 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by siblings, in-laws, and many nieces and nephews in the Netherlands and California. Before marrying Jake in 1952, she worked as a sewing supervisor in sewing factories in the Netherlands. She was a seamstress for Western Michigan, sewing whole wedding parties and making repairs on all types of garments. She was also a skilled violinist and an avid gardener. And in lighter moments, could keep three balls in the air with her juggling skills.
