It is with sadness that we announce that Mrs. Elisabeth tenZythoff, widow of Professor Gerrit tenZythoff (founder of our MSU Religious Studies Department), passed away at the age of 92 on Friday, July 24. There is a graveside service planned for Wed. July 29, at Greenlawn North Cemetery in Springfield at 10:00 AM. Her memorial service will be held in Fort Worth, TX the following week.
It is worth noting that in lieu of flowers, her family has requested that memorial donations be sent to the Gerrit and Elisabeth tenZythoff Religious Studies Scholarship.
