Hendrika “Henny” Vespia (nee Dolstra) age 61 died on Monday February 16 peacefully at home.

Henny enjoyed cooking and belonged to The Gourmet Club in Franklin Lakes for several years. One of her standout culinary masterpieces was her “outrageous” taco salad.
She met her husband at a neighbors party in California and their first date was at The Captain’s Table restaurant in Hollywood, CA. They were married in Hacienda Heights, CA on November 16, 1968 and honeymooned in Las Vegas and San Francisco accompanied by fifteen family members.
Henny was the beloved wife of forty-one years to Dominic Vespia; loving mother of Danielle Vespia and Deanna Valenzuela and her husband Jose all of Wayne; cherished grandmother of Kayla Vespia and Dominic Valenzuela; loved sister of Albert Dolstra of Murrieta, CA.
In lieu of flowers the family has asked that donations be made in Hendrika’s name to Wayne Township Memorial 1st Aid Squad, P.O. Box 291, Wayne, NJ 07470.
