- Susan H. Timmermans - Portage, MI, Susan (Zwaantje) was a loving woman who devoted her life to her husband and children. She was born April 10, 1918, in the village of Beerta in the Netherlands to Hisko and Emke Hulsing. Growing up in Beerta, she attended high school and took classes at a trade school to better herself as a homemaker. On October 30, 1939, Susan married Garrett Timmermans and they began a family. In 1956, work in Grand Rapids brought the family of five to Michigan from the Netherlands, where they later moved to the Portage area. Susan worked hard to make her family happy and to raise her children, with support from Garrett. Together the couple was blessed with many happy years and the time to do so much together. Although Susan was not very social and preferred to spend time with her family, she was a strong support system for Garrett's company Timmermans Plumbing and Heating. She enjoyed reading and playing cards with friends and family. Her greatest love w!
as spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Susan's family includes her children, Roelfien and Doug Caldwell of Ashville, NC, Hisko and Barbara Timmermans of Vicksburg, and Garret and Sandy Timmermans of Portage; sister, Griet VanSlooten of the Netherlands; grandchildren, Kristi and Mark Wilson, Josh, Matt and Nicole Timmermans, Lisa Smith and Matt Leonard; great-grandchildren, Emily and Drew Wilson; and special friend, Helen Kerwin. Susan died June 18, 2002 at the Tendercare of Portage. She was preceded in death by her loving husband Garrett in 1978. According to Susan's wishes cremation has taken place and rather than remember her in service she wishes to be remembered along with Garrett like the line in the theme to Dr. Zhivago, ``Think of me now and then.'' Please visit Susan's personal web site at www.rdmg.com, where you may leave a memory for the family or leave a memorial contribution to the Borgess Visiting Nurses. Arrangements made by Rupert, Du!
