Henrietta Jean was my 1st cousin, daughter of my Uncle George VanZytveld and Aunt Agnes.
My mother, Helen VZ (Blok) was my Uncle George's youngest sister. I can't remember the last time I saw Henrietta Jean. When I was a kid, my folks would drive my brother, Bill, and sister Terri, and me from GR to Grosse Point, MI to visit. That was a long time ago. Time has a way of passing. I just noticed this obit from surfing the web. I remember my cousins Henrietta Jean as tall, beautiful, gifted, and older than me. I remember her sister, my cousin Joanne also.
I met Henrietta Jeans son, Jim, one year taking my son to Camp Roger circa 1978 when my son discovered that Jim's great-grandfather and my son's great grandfather was the same person, Jacob Van Zytveld.
My Uncle George VZ would stop by our home in GR when on the road. I always looked forward to his visits. A kind soul indeed. I am sorry I missed Henrietta Jeans passing. I was living in Charlotte, NC in 2010 and now in Hilton Head Island, SC since 2017.
