Genevieve “Gen” Huizenga, age 99, of Zeeland, a faithful servant of her Lord and Savior, was called home on Friday, October 18, 2019, just a few days before her 100th birthday. She was a loving and kindhearted mother and “Grammie” who cherished and supported her family in everything they did.  Over the years, she served her Lord with her time and talents in many ways both in her church and community. She was a volunteer at Zeeland Hospital for 50 years and was actively involved and supported the Zeeland Historical Society. Gen was a pillar of strength and a faithful prayer warrior for her family and prayed daily for everyone specifically by name. Her legacy of faith and contentment in life was evident to all who knew her.  She was preceded in death by her husband of 52 years, Cleo Huizenga; and her great-grandsons, Aidan Flipse and Iver Koop. She will be lovingly remembered and dearly missed by her children, Elayne and Arlan Matthysse, Mary and David Weeber, Bob and Anita Huizenga, Rick and Deb Huizenga; her grandchildren, Mike and Lisa Matthysse, Lisa and Ryan Flipse, Ryan and Sue Matthysse, Mark and Amy Weeber, Nate and Anna Weeber, Rob and Amanda Huizenga, Annie and Craig Hoekzema, Kelli and Aaron Tinholt, Heidi and Jeff Van Huis, Betsy and Jonathan Koop, Eric and Christian Huizenga; 28 great-grandchildren; her brother-in-law, Tom Knol (Thelma - deceased). Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, October 22, 2019, at 11 a.m. at North Street Christian Reformed Church, 20 E. Main Ave., Zeeland, with Rev. Shaun Furniss officiating.  Interment will be held at Zeeland Cemetery.  Relatives and friends may meet the family Monday from 5-8 p.m. at the church. Those who wish may make memorial contributions to Zeeland Christian School or to Hospice of Holland.
