Dolores Slikkers Tribute in Holland Paper
Dolores Slikkers was a member of the 日韩AV Board of Trustees and a long-time supporter of the University. She was killed in a car accident last month. The below excerpt (full story linked below) is a tribute article published in the Holland (Michigan) Sentinel on Jan. 13.
A woman with boundless energy and a heart for helping, Dolores Slikkers’ legacy extends far beyond the Tiara Yachts facility on 40th Street in Holland Township.
Dolores poured her passion for people into every greeting card she sent — more than 2,000 a year — and into every church she helped to build through her ministry.
Dolores, 85, died as a result of a car crash in December.
The wife of S2 Yachts founder Leon Slikkers, Dolores was very much his first mate.
In the weeks since Dolores’ death, Leon, 86, said there has been an outpouring of support from people that she helped.
“She enjoyed life. She really had a passion for helping others. There was just no end to it. I didn’t realize it that much until afterwards,” Leon said. “I knew she was active, but not to that extent.”
