Ionia Sentinel Standard, 15 Feb 2005

Carol Jean Van Zyl, aged 77, of Lake Odessa, passed away early Sunday morning, 
February 13, 2005.  Carol was born in Racine, Wis. on September 8, 1927 to 
Arthur and Helen (Poulson) Prigge.

She graduated from Holland High School in 1945 where she was one of the 
original Klompen Dancers.  Carol went on to attend Hope College and married 
Allison “Al” Van Zyl on June 22, 1949.  She and Al moved to Lake Odessa in 1956 
when Doc established his dental practice there.  Carol was an avid bridge 
player, loved golfing, and had been a member of her bowling league for 42 
years.  She cheered for U of M sports teams, and took shopping to an art form.  
Carol loved giving hugs.  She had been active in Guilds at Pennock Hospital and 
Ionia County Memorial Hospital, and had been a long-time member of the Central 
United Methodist Church in Lake Odessa.

Carol is survived by her husband, Al; children, Debra and Steve Steward, Bradly 
and Jill Van Zyl, Emmi Jo “Jodi” and Tim Spitzley, and Dr. Craig and Angie Van 
Zyl; 11 grandchildren; 2 great-grandchildren; brother, Arthur C. Prigge, Jr.; 
the extended Peigge and Van Zyl families; and many loving friends.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Sat., Mar. 5, 2005 at the Central 
United Methodist Church in Lake Odessa with a time of visitation and luncheon 
following.  There will be no funeral home visitation.

Private burial will take place in Lakeside Cemetery.  In lieu of flowers, the 
family has suggested that memorial contributions may be made to the Central 
United Methodist Church, the Lake Odessa Community Library, or a charity of the 
donor’s choice.  Arrangements were made by the Koops Funeral Chapel in Lake 
Odessa.
