  • Notes 
    • Jim Vandehey, age 84 of Kimberly, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on Saturday, July 22, 2017 at ThedaCare-Appleton, following a difficult battle with pancreatic cancer. Jim was born in Appleton on March 31, 1933, son of the late Herman and Ethel (Verhagen) Vandehey. He was a graduate of Kimberly High School, and on January 20, 1953, married his longtime sweetheart, Pat DeLeeuw, at Holy Name Church in Kimberly.

      Jim was a dedicated husband and family man whose life was committed to giving all he could to family and friends, and was loved by all who knew him. Jim worked as a letter pressman at George W. Banta Company for forty years, retiring in 1995. He was an avid sports fan, with Kimberly High School being most important to him.

      Jim is survived by his loving wife of sixty-four years: Pat Vandehey of Kimberly; six children: Tim (Pat) Vandehey of North Prairie, Wisconsin; Lynn (Rick) Boyer of Kaukauna; Cathy (Jim) Diermeier of Greenville; Lee (Lisa) Vandehey of Plover; Rob (Becki) Vandehey of Fox Crossing; and Mike (Maria) Vandehey of Kimberly. There are twenty-one grandchildren and twenty-two great-grandchildren. Jim also leaves behind seven siblings: Joan (Cliff) Sanderfoot of Kimberly, Tom (Jean) Vandehey of Kimberly, Diane (Al) Nienhaus of Kaukauna, Pete (Kathy) Vandehey of Kimberly, Lois (Loren) Rohloff of Greenville, Joyce (Dick Lardinois) Williams of Appleton, and Susan (Larry) Navarrete of Darboy. Pat’s siblings include Katie Van Beek of Kimberly, Margaret Willis of Cocoa Beach, Florida, Helen Anholzer of Kimberly, Andrew “Bud” DeLeeuw of Menasha, and Audrey Hopfensperger of St. Augustine, Florida.

      Jim was preceded in death by his son, Bill, nephews Steve, Dan, and Jeff, a niece Diane, and many in-laws: Jim DeLeeuw, John (Vi) DeLeeuw, Chris (Adelyn) DeLeeuw, Joe (Stella) DeLeeuw, Mary (Earl) Deeg, Joan DeLeeuw, John VanBeek, Bob Willis, Bob Anholzer, Bill Hopfensperger,
