Lucille Ruth Kuiper went to be with Jesus after a lifetime of great joys and struggles.

"The strife is o'er, the battle done; the victory of life is won; the song of triumph has begun. Alleluia!"

She is survived by her loving husband and soulmate of 61 years, Don, sons Joel (Rosaline), Mark (Jennifer), and Matthew (Laurie), twin sister Margaret, brothers Marvin and William Huizinga, and eight adoring grandchildren: Joseph, Justin, Rachel, John, Cecelia, Hannah, Abigail, and Julia as well as many nephews and nieces.

Lucille was a registered nurse, graduating number one in her class.  She was a life-long member of River Terrace Christian Reformed Church where she touched the lives of generations of children and adults with her singing and served as an elder.  She demonstrated the model of Jesus throughout her life in many acts of love and service.

Praise be to God.
