Remembering Kimberly Elzinga

Kimberly Dawn Elzinga, age 66, of Allendale, was called home by her Heavenly Father on Friday, September 4, 2026, surrounded by her family. She was born on May 23, 1960, to Herbert and Shirley Klomparens.

Kim was the backbone to the family business, Mirage Pool & Spa, for many years. She enjoyed going to the cabin where she enjoyed riding her pontoon, going fishing, hanging out with her girlfriends, going antiquing and snowmobiling. A lifelong member of North Blendon Christian Reformed Church, she faithfully served as the funeral lunch coordinator for many years. Most importantly, Kim’s family was her whole world, and she treasured the many hours spent making memories with those she loved. 

She was preceded in death by her father, Herbert “Herb” Klomparens. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 46 years, Curtis Elzinga; children, Brandon and Yvonne Elzinga, Tyler and Joanne Elzinga; eight grandchildren, Annabele, Eli, and Leo Elzinga, Nathan Schmitt, Aaron, Tyler, Brandon, and Ryan Rusco; five great-grandchildren, Walker, Zoey, Lacie, Blaire, and Everett; mother, Shirley Klomparens; siblings, Laurie and Al Overweg, Dawn and Dan Cooper, Lanae and Felix Monera; mother-in-law, Elaine Elzinga; sister-in-law, Lisa and Steve Kuiper; many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. 

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at North Blendon Christian Reformed Church, 7284 Taylor St., Hudsonville, with Pastor Aaron Vriesman officiating. The burial will be held at Allendale Township Cemetery. Relatives and friends may meet the family on Wednesday from 5-8 p.m. at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf, 6651 Scott St., Allendale and on Thursday from 10-11 a.m. at the church prior to the service. Those who wish may make memorial contributions to Allendale Christian School.

Dear Curt and sons and family, We just learned of this news today. I am so shocked and sorry to learn this. Kim was our Mom’s next door neighbor at the cabin until you moved down the street and then she still would always stop by and light up our cabin with her visits. She was warm and caring. She loved Jesus and her family. I will always be grateful for her visits to my mom and texts to me when we were caring for her those final years. Kim was always an encouragement. Our hearts break with you. May the Lord comfort all of you.

We just learned of Kim's passing. So very heartbroken 💔. We hope your memories bring you comfort during your time of grief and during your healing. She was so full of life and she always was such a joy to be around! We had met up at the Clark's "happy place " during the pig roast. She treated my parents like family. May she rest in eternal peace. Prayers for her family 🙏

Dear Curt, Brandon, Tyler and family, We are so saddened to hear about Kim. She was always so nice and helpful to us, and always asked how we were doing. She was so proud of her sons and grandchildren and talked about them whenever we spoke. We will miss her caring and happiness. Our sincerest condolences to you all. Bill and Patti Morrissey

My sympathies to Shirel and the family. Enjoyed bowling for a few years with both of them.

— Laurie Wiersema

Kim was always so full of light, whether it was a quick joke while in line for coffee after church or sitting and talking at a softball game - she always made me feel seen and loved. She was just one of those adults who took time to make you feel special. My heart goes out to all those who love her - know that she will be remembered and missed by so many lives touched by her kindness.

— Melissa (Vugteveen) Beyer

Kim was a friend to so many and one of those friends was my sister Verna. Verna passed on September 4 , 2003, and now Kim joined her in heaven on September 4! Kim was such a comfort to me after Verna passed, I remember once running into Kim in the store by the icecream section and we laughed as we remembered Verna's love for it. Kim will be missed by so many! Can't wait until we all see Jesus

— Joan Boersema

My Sympathies to the family! We met Kim at White Sands resort on Anna Maria Island! Enjoyed many sunsets with her and her friends!

— Tammy Israel

Dear Curt, Brandon, Tyler and family, my deepest sympathy is with each of you. I knew Kim from yearly vacations at Anna Maria island. We all met under the umbrella by the pool each night after sunning all day for drinks and appetizers. We would sing the sunset away as it faded into the ocean. We will miss her dearly. With every sunset and dolphin that rolls by we will know she is still with us. God bless, Kitty

Dear Curt, Brandon, Tyler, and family, We are deeply sorry for your loss of Kim. Kim was an amazing person, and we feel privileged to have known her for many years through the family business. When Kim and I talked twice a year about the opening and closing of our pool, she never hesitated to ask how we were doing. Through our conversations we knew her family meant the world to her, and she was very proud of you. We are eternally grateful for all that she has done for us, and will miss our conversations. Our sincerest condolences to the family. Dale and Jan Hanson

May the Lord bless you and keep you and grant you His peace. Love in Christ, Anna
