GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Helen DeVos, West Michigan philanthropist and wife of Amway co-founder and Orlando Magic owner Rich DeVos, died Wednesday, Oct. 18.
DeVos, who was 90, died of complications from a stroke following a recent diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia at her Ada home, not far from the renown Grand Rapids children's hospital that bears her name.
"While we grieve her passing, we rejoice in her new life in heaven and are grateful for the countless ways she blessed our lives. We are comforted in knowing that she was welcomed home into the loving arms of Jesus," her family said in a statement released early Thursday morning, Oct. 19.
"We will never forget her unfailing love, strength and devotion that were truly the heart of our family."

(20,215 posts)that Proctor and Gamble ( which makes many of the same products as Amway) was run by satanists. P&G sued 4 of the distributors and was awarded $19.5 Million. I doubt they were able to collect though.

(5,801 posts)Dear News Media:
Please stop sugarcoating these brigands by calling them "philanthropists". Donating $$$ to glitzy arts outlets does not wash away the stain of infiltrating the political process in order to screw over the general population. Or, at least mention their nefarious political activities alongside the arts-themed platitudes.
Sincerely,
The 99%
