Geraldine Nyland

July 7, 1930 ~
December 28, 2024

Geraldine Lou Nyland, age 94, of Byron Center, went to be with her Lord on Saturday, December 28, 2024. She was preceded in death by her parents, Myrton and Mary Closs; sister, Bonnie Ransbottom; and son-in-law, Mike Zandstra. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 76 years, Les Nyland; children, Diane Zandstra, Patricia Kay and David Morgenstern, Rodney Louis Nyland, Les Jr. and Kathy Nyland; grandchildren, Rebecca Lou and Brian Peuler, Rodney Nyland II and Rama Salhi, Jennifer Elaine Nyland-Acharya and Nick Acharya, Heather and Scott Kenna, Tammi and Seth Biggi; great-grandchildren, Haley Kenna, Bryce Kenna, Emerson Peuler, Lelya Lou Peuler, Sean Biggi, Lily Biggi; sister, Barbara Shannon; many nieces and nephews, extended family and friends. Geraldine was active with 4H raising horses and being involved with her sons in Boy Scouts. She was proud of her two sons earning the rank of Eagle Scout and every Easter she made matching dresses for herself and her daughters. She enjoyed being active in her church and helping to teach Sunday School. She also enjoyed square dancing with her husband and sewing, knitting, crocheting, gardening, and canning in her free time. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family, especially camping. She will be greatly missed. A private family service will be held. The burial will take place at the East Martin Cemetery at a later date.

We will definitely miss seeing her and Uncle Les in St Ignace. Hugs and prayers as Uncle Les transitions to life without her. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. We will plan on visiting Uncle Les when he is settled.
