Service Dec. 4 for Hopkins graduate Diana Zeef, 76

Diana Mae Zeeff, aged 76 of Ludington, died Saturday, Nov. 24, at her home.

Diana was born on June 24, 1942, in Zeeland, the daughter of Elmer and Irene (Raab) Smith, and graduated from Hopkins High School with the Class of 1960. She married Ronald Zeeff on July 9, 1960, and they celebrated 58 years together.

Diana loved being outdoors taking walks, bike riding, running 5ks, and working in her gardens but her greatest joy was found in the company of her family, whom she loved to photograph.

She is survived by her husband, Ronald, her daughter Mandy Hildenbrand and husband Larry of Burnips, her son Scotty Zeeff and wife Shari of Saugatuck, her granddaughters Lindsey Siegersma and husband Michael of Grandville, Kristen Kelting and husband Kyle of Dorr, Emily Geurink and husband David of Hamilton, her great-grandchildren August Siegersma and Aubree Geurink, and her sister Janet Shimer of Ludington.

Diana was preceded in death by her parents, her in-laws Clarence and Johanna Zeeff, and her brother-in-law, Kenneth Zeeff.

A celebration of Diana’s life will held at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4, at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Ludington with Pastor Ryan White officiating. Burial will take place at Burnips Cemetery at a later date. Friends may meet with her family for a time of visitation Tuesday from noon until time of services at the church.
