Thelma Brink, age 92, of Holland, went home to the arms of Jesus on Sunday, August 13, 2023, in her home and surrounded by family.
Thelma was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She had boundless energy and was deeply involved with acts of service at East Saugatuck CRC as well as with Holland Christian School Circle Fund Raisers. Somehow, she found the time for gardening, sewing, quilting, and crocheting and always had a square meal on the table for everyone.
Thelma was dearly loved and will be deeply missed by those who survive, including: her husband of 71 years, Willard Brink; children: Wilma (Charles) DeRidder, Janice Kuhtic, David (Deb) Brink, Mary Dykstra, Sally (Peter) Mulder, Laura (Scott) Visser, Dennis (Cindy) Brink; 23 grandchildren and 43 great-grandchildren; brother, Jake (Nancy) Koster; in-laws: Frank Berkenpas, Bill (Kay) Bolman, Marjorie Vannette, Berdella (Ed) Cooper, Nathan (Marilyn) Brink, Andy Brink, Gloria (Curtis) Huyser, June Van Farowe, Pearl (Stanley) Vos; as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends.
Thelma was preceded in death by her granddaughter, Stephanie Kuhtic; sons-in-law: Michael Dykstra and Phillip Kuhtic; and siblings: Marvin Koster, Anita Berkenpas, and Marilyn Bolman.
A memorial service will be at 3:30 PM on Saturday, August 19, 2023, at East Saugatuck Christian Reformed Church, 3815 56th Street, Holland, MI 49423. Rev. Charles DeRidder will officiate.
