Kathryn “Kay” Noble-Schlamm passed away August 6, 2021 at the Whatcom Hospice House after a short illness. She was 97 years old. Kay was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, to missionary parents William and Anna Goudberg, emigrants from the Netherlands. When she was two years of age, her family moved to the Navajo Indian reservation in northern New Mexico where her parents were involved in Bible translation and mission work to the Navajo people. They remained there for 18 years during which time Kay attended reservation schools as well as a boarding school in Wasatch, Utah. After two years at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, she returned home to teach school in the one-room schoolhouse on the Navajo reservation. After that year, during which she decided that teaching was not her calling, she moved to California where she worked as an electrician in the Alameda shipyards and attended school at Pepperdine College. Kay returned to Calvin where she received a degree as a clinical laboratory technologist. Her career choice led her into biological warfare research at Naval Biological Laboratory, University of California at Berkeley, where she met a handsome fellow student and laboratory worker, William Noble. Kay and “Bill” married, eventually welcoming three children to the family. After the children were in school, Kay returned to her profession, spending her working years in medical laboratories and hospital settings. Her final post was in a bush hospital outside of Jos, Nigeria, where her training in old-style laboratory methods was put to good use in a challenging setting.

When Kay was in her 60’s, she returned to school and obtained her nursing degree. She subsequently married Norbert Schlamm, a retired Navy captain from Oak Harbor, WA. During her retirement years, Kay and Bert enjoyed traveling the world, participating in church and community work, and spending time with their combined families. Kay moved to Lynden, Washington, after Bert’s death in 2004. Even though her final years were clouded by pain, constant illness, and a loss of sight, Kay was able to devote time to favorite activities of writing and reading, thanks to Washington Talking Book and Braille Library and devoted friends who spent hours reading to her. Kay’s greatest joy in her final years was to see a loving bond develop between her church in Lynden, Third Christian Reformed Church, and the church of her childhood, First Navajo Christian Reformed Church of Tohatchi, and continue the work her parents began over 90 years ago.

Kay is survived by her children William and Joyce Noble of Columbia, Missouri, Patty and Brian (deceased) Whittaker of Ferndale, Washington, and Nancy and Michael Noble-Urban of Long Island, Maine; grandchildren Jennifer, Daniel (Julie), Paul (Marisa), and David (Faith); and great-grandchildren Nate, Ellie, Ari, and Noah (due to arrive in September).

The family would like to thank the wonderful caring staff at Highgate Senior Living and Whatcom Hospice. Donations may be made in Kay’s memory to Classis Red Mesa LDN Program, P.O. Box 93, Rehoboth, NM 87322 (an organization that trains Native American men and women as leaders in their churches and communities), Mt. Hermon Christian Conference Center, P.O. Box 413, Mt. Hermon, CA 95041, or Whatcom Hospice.

A graveside memorial service will be held Thursday, August 12 at Ten Mile Cemetery, Lynden, WA at 10 a.m. Family and friends are welcome to attend.

WWI veteran. Dahlia expert.

When I looked at Uncle Ben's marker and read the words, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus..." (Romans 8:1) I relived the time he and Aunt Beth visited my Mom, and they were sharing their testimonies. Uncle Ben said, "It was my fear of an Almighty God that brought me to the Lord. I was afraid to face a righteous God as my Judge. When I read in Romans 8:1 that there was no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, I accepted Him as my Savior, and was free from the burden of sin and the wrath of God." How fitting that at his memorial service the text for the message of Rom. 8:1 His reputation as an architect was well-known in the city, but how much better to be known in the cemetery as one who had a home prepared for him in Heaven.

Julius "Joe " Duthler was born ¹ on 23 Apr 1921 in Grand Rapids, Kent County, Michigan, USA. He died ² on 27 Apr 2007 in Grand Rapids, Kent County, Michigan, USA. Joe married ³ Dorothy Mae Hertel on 6 Jun 1947.

GRAND RAPIDS -- Julius "Joe" Duthler started selling used cars on the corner of Madison Avenue and 28th Street SE in 1947.

"We had three cars," Mr. Duthler said in an interview with The Press in 2005. "Mine, my dad's and my brother's."

Mr. Duthler, who over the course of a 60-year career turned the three-car lot into several new car dealerships, died Friday at his Grand Rapids home.

The 86-year-old suffered from pulmonary fibrosis, which slowly robbed him of his mobility and independence, said his daughter, Patricia Duthler, former president of the family business.

But, as recently as January, he still was able to go to the office once a week.

"I tell you, if it were not for this disease, he still would have been (going to work)," Patricia Duthler said.

The family sold Duthler Ford and Duthler Honda to DP Fox in 2005, but they still own Duthler Truck Center in Wyoming.

Mr. Duthler was a journeyman tool and die maker by trade, but he never worked in the industry.

"We all realized he found his life's calling in business," Patricia Duthler said. "And he was good and successful at it."

He also was a risk taker, she said. That included bringing her into the family business at a time when women were not a common sight on the showroom floor.

Patricia Duthler said she, her two sisters and her mother, Dorothy, will remember him as wise, faithful, unflappable, honorable and loyal.

"He was a man of few words," Patricia Duthler said. "He expressed his love by his actions. It was really his character and his life that served as a role model."

Visitation is today from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. at Calvin Christian Reformed Church, 700 Ethel Ave. SE in Grand Rapids.
