Alice (Addink) De Groot was born March 10, 1915 to John and Jennie (Lammers) Addink on the family farm west of Sioux Center. She attended country school through the eighth grade and always enjoyed helping out on the farm. She spent many days working alongside her family with their chicken business. She also enjoyed playing softball.
On Feb. 3, 1938, Alice married Peter De Groot. The couple first farmed south of Sioux Center until 1952, then west of Sioux Center where they farmed until they retired in 1977. After Peter passed away on Nov. 28, 1985, Alice continued living in their Sioux Center home until March of 2005, when she became a resident of Royale Meadows Care Center.
Alice was a longtime member of Faith Christian Reformed Church. She enjoyed playing cards and bingo with friends. She liked fishing and listening to her Chicago Cubs.
Preceding Alice in death were her husband, Peter De Groot; her parents; grandson, Carl John De Groot; sisters and brothers-in-law, Dena and Albert Van Riessen, Gert and John De Groot, Minnie and John Byl; sister-in-law, Dorothy Vander Stelt; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Janet and Gene Wagner and Elsie and Alfred Wissink.
The De Groot family prefers memorials be directed to Sioux Center Christian School or Sioux Center Community Hospital Foundation.
