Jean Nyhuis

Jean Carol Nyhuis, age 75, of Jenison, went to be with the Lord on Monday, April 12, 2021. She was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Ruth Maring; and sister, Baby Mary. She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Jason and Shannon Nyhuis, Jamin Nyhuis; grandchildren, Makena, Camden, Nora Jean, and Nolan; siblings, John and Juliet Maring, Janet (Jean’s twin sister) and Larry Cotts; several nieces, nephews, extended family and dear friends. Jean was a loving mother to her two sons Jason and Jamin and daughter-in-law Shannon; a wonderful and doting grandmother, affectionately known as “GG” to her four beloved grandchildren. Her many travels with family and friends created wonderful lasting memories that deepened the relationships of family and friends. Her quick wit and keen sense of humor were enjoyed by everyone. Jean poured her love and empathy for people into her passion as a nurse. She was naturally nurturing and generous with everyone. She was always willing to listen, quick to support and ready to encourage. Constantly open to new experiences, she was grateful in the face of whatever life had to offer. The memories of our time with her will remain impressed in our hearts. Relatives and friends may meet the family Friday, April 16, from 4-7 p.m. and Saturday, April 17, from 10 a.m.-noon at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home (Grandville), 4145 Chicago Drive SW. Burial at Rest Lawn Memorial Park.
