Connie Kay Missad (Egeler) moved on to a better place with her Lord on Friday, May 20, 2016. Although unexpected, her passing was peaceful. Connie was born on July 21, 1936. She was preceded in death by her father Frederick H. Egeler; mother Nora Dawn DeGlopper (Tucker); and her brother-in-law, Edward Douglas. She is survived by her sister Carol Douglas; her sons Scott (Tracy) Missad, Matt (Michelle) Missad, Todd Missad, and John Missad; her favorite daughter and most gracious caregiver, Elizabeth Missad; her grandchildren, Mallory (Patrick) VanderKolk, Jordan Missad, Adam Missad, Alex Missad, Cassie Missad, Joseph Missad, Samantha Missad and Eric Missad; her niece Julie (David) Charles; her nephew, Jeff Douglas; her great nephew Cooper Charles; her great niece Mckinley Charles; and her feline companions, Harry and Gabriel. The family would also like to give a special thank you to Marge and Ron Westerhouse, Connie’s kind and helpful neighbors for many years. A celebration of Connie’s life will be held on Thursday, May 26, 4:30-7:00 p.m. at O’Brien-Eggebeen-Gerst Chapel, 3980 Cascade Rd. S.E., Grand Rapids. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Connie’s memory to TCT Ministries, PO Box 1010, Marion, IL 62959, or to the Missad Family Scholarship Fund at Grand Rapids Community College. Live each day!
