FRANCES WARMERDAM
Our beloved mother, Frances Warmerdam, passed away at home under the tender care of her family on March 6th, 2018 at the age of eighty seven. She was the eldest daughter of Anna and Louie Ott of Escalon, California.
Frances was a devoted wife to Albertus Warmerdam for forty eight years until his death in 2001. Together they raised five children on their family ranch in Lodi. She was a generous, hardworking woman who did everything for her family. Even in her final days, she made certain everyone’s birthday was remembered with a card, a smile and encouraging words.
Frances was a member of St. Anne’s Catholic Church for over fifty years and had a very strong faith. Everything she did embodied the selfless spirit of a woman devoted to giving and sharing of herself and her good fortune. She remains greatly loved and her memory will be an inspiration within the lives she touched.
Frances is preceded in death by her sisters Betty Ann Van Duyn and Martha Beeler. She is survived by her five children: Louis Warmerdam (wife Sandi), Denise Kalend (husband Mike), Marc Warmerdam (wife Denise), John Warmerdam (wife Liz), Laura Schmader (husband Mike) - her fourteen cherished grand-children: Dru, Ari, Kristen, Brandon, Megan, Britnee, Daniele, Brett, Breanna, Matthew, Brock, Nicolas, Casey, Ellen, and her five beloved great grandchildren: Gio, Téa, Emilee, Jozef and Harper (and one more on the way!).
