She graduated from Grand Haven High School in 1990.  Thaye worked for Cook’s Appliances  and the City of Grand Haven, but was most proud of being a mother.  She was a big Kansas City Chiefs and MSU Spartans fan.   She enjoyed attending concerts, as music was her lifeblood.  Thaye was also fond of traveling to casinos, and visiting her family.

Bruce (the P stands for Precious, Thaye would want you to know that).
