Cynthia Van Regenmorter was born June 18, 1923 to Henry and Allie (Vander Ploeg) Van Roekel of Sioux Center, IA. As a young girl she attended country school through the 8th grade.

She was joined in marriage to Henry Van Regenmorter on September 26, 1945 at her parents home near Sioux Center. The couple began their marriage farming near Rock Rapids. They later farmed near Struble and Maurice.

While on the farm Cynthia was a homemaker and helpmate to her husband. Most days, she was found working side by side with Henry. After retiring to Sioux Center in 1971, she spent her days helping Henry with his taxi service, painting whatever Henry made in his workshop and most of all spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Many memories were made with Grandma sitting around the kitchen table.

Cynthia had been a member of the Maurice Reformed Church and was currently a member of the First Reformed Church of Sioux Center.

She will be remembered fondly for her always present smile, a love of life, laughter, conversation, and most of all a love of family.

She is survived by her husband of 60 years, Henry of Sioux Center; her children, Roger and Winova Van Regenmorter of Orange City, Darrel and Mick Van Regenmorter of Maurice, and Karen and Bob Huenink of Alcester, SD; one son-in-law, Perry Dykstra of Le Mars; two sisters: Harriet Meendering and Ellen Van Roekel of Sioux Center; two sisters-in-law: Grace Van Roekel of Sioux Center, Aldine Van Roekel of Orange City and numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
