Elaine M. Huizenga

She shared her love for her Lord and Savior by leading Bible study, teaching Sunday school, and teaching catechism classes.

Elaine loved music, and the family would often sing hymns around the piano, a joy she shared until the day she was called home to glory. She was a faithful member of Second Randolph Christian Reformed Church and later became a member of Grace United Reformed Church in Waupun.

Elaine was preceded in death by her husband, Dean, in 2018; her parents; three sisters, Helena (Barney) Vande Kolk, Pearl (Milton) Vande Zande, and Evelyn (Ken) De Vries; brother-in-law, Cliff Posthuma; and other relatives.
