Gloria Jean (Vander Wyst) Beltz
June 8, 1957 – May 1, 2011

Gloria was granted her Angel wings on Sunday May 1, 2011, after ending her journey with cancer. Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that Gloria touched in some small way throughout her life, including: her sons, John Beltz (partner Danie) and Zachariah Beltz; father, John Vander Wyst; brother, Gary Vander Wyst; brother, Guy Vander Wyst (Ann); sisters, Gail Heath (Lee) and Gwen Shaw (Mike). She was preceded in death by her dear mother, Rita (Osowski) Vander Wyst. She is survived by two grandchildren: Charlee and Destin, many nephews, one niece, friends and Chris Lembeke, one of many who assisted with care-giving. Gloria was a strong person and raised her two sons proudly. She loved to be with friends, shopping, gardening, attending church and was especially talented in her crafts: sewing and knitting. She will be greatly missed but we know she is in a better place.

A memorial service will take place Friday, May 6, 2011 with visitation from 10 A.M. to 12:00 noon, followed by her celebration of life conducted by Pastor Philip Bridges at Christian Life Center, 670 N. Green Bay Rd., Neenah. In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established.

The family wishes to express their extreme gratitude to St. Elizabeth Hospital, Vallhaven Care Center, and Affinity Hospice, in particular Lorie and Andrea, who saw her through her journey.
