Gertrude Adriana Kieft 84, of Sioux Center, IA, joined heavens glory on April 18, 2016 at Prairie Ridge Care Center in Orange City, IA. Services will be held April 20, 2016 at 2 pm. Visitation with family present from 1-2 PM at the First Reformed Church in Sioux Center, IA.

Gert was born to Gerrit and Adriana (Van Egdom) Van Veldhuizen on May 30, 1931 in Fairview, SD. She was united in marriage on January 26, 1951 to Jacobus Kieft of the Netherlands. Together, and with great faith, love and joy they shared four children.

Gert will always be remembered as the family “rock”, through grounded and committed love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She enjoyed the fashion industry and infected all that knew her with quick wit, hard work, humor and love of life.
