March 27, 2026

Winnie Prins, age 96, of Jenison, passed away peacefully to be with her Lord on Friday, March 27, 2026. Winnie was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose life was rooted in faith and devotion. She began each day with prayer and scripture, setting the tone for a life guided by grace and strength. Even in the face of health challenges, Winnie maintained a positive spirit that inspired those around her.

She found joy in singing with her church choir and treasured quiet moments spent knitting. Winnie also loved gathering with her family to play games and work on puzzles, creating memories filled with laughter and connection. A true prayer warrior, she faithfully lifted her loved ones up in prayer each and every day.

She was preceded in death by her husband, of 37 years, Gerrit; daughter, Barb Poley; and grandson, Nathan Prins. Winnie will be lovingly remembered by her children, Henry and Mary Prins, Elma Veldman, Derwin and Bev Prins, Marv and Kristi Prins, Carla Kort, Steve and Amy Prins; son-in-law, Jon Poley; 33 grandchildren; 28 great-grandchildren; brothers and sister-in-law, Pete and Ann Gootjes, Paul Gootjes; sister, Annette Gootjes; sisters-in-law, Carol Gootjes, Ann Gootjes, Lorraine Prins; brother-in-law, John Vos; and many nieces and nephews.
