We are very sadden to report that Dianne Vanden Bussche passed away. Despite a years-long struggle with Scleroderma, Dianne remained an active and lively member of both the Association board and our community.
There will be a celebration/visitation on Thursday from 4-7pm. Services will be Friday at 11am followed by a luncheon. Both of these will be held at:
Betzler Life Story Funeral Home
6080 Stadium Drive
Kalamazoo, MI 49009
269-375-2900
Her daughters, Jennifer and Stephanie, have requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Scleroderma Foundation, Greater Chicago Chapter.

One final note, if I may: my lasting memory of Dianne will be this fall when she hosted her annual Michigan / Michigan State party at the lake. We were blessed with a beautiful day and fortunately we had not yet taken the boat out for the season. So our family cruised over and enjoyed a few great hours of food, drinks and excellent friends. Dianne thanks again and we will miss you…
