Carrie was born February 5, 1922 at Sioux Center, daughter of John H. and Eibertje (Westhuis) Klein, recent immigrints from Holland. She grew up in rural Sioux Center. On February 5, 1945, she married Jake Van Regenmorter. They farmed near Sioux Center until 1951 when they purchased a farm near Inwood. She was an active partner in their farming operation. Church was always an important spiritual and social aspect of her life. She was a nurturing mother to her children, Peter, Evelyn, and Carol. Her children are grateful for the role she played in shaping their lives.
Jake and Carrie shared numerous retirement adventures, including wintering in Florida and living in the Okoboji area. Following the death of her husband in 1993, she moved to Sioux Center where she renewed many of her childhood friendships. She enjoyed family time, especially time with grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Family members who will continue to cherish her memories are her son, Peter Van Regenmorter of Inwood, IA; daughters Evelyn (Ken) Bussema of Silver Spring, MD, and Carol (Robb) Keizer of Arnolds Park, IA; nine grandchildren, Paula Van Regenmorter (Icaro) Goes, Kerry Bussema (Scott) Oolman, Chad (Jody) Van Regenmorter, Brent (Lisa) Van Regenmorter, Christy Keizer, Rachel Bussema (David) Westerveld, Katie Keizer, Jessica Bussema (Jon) Dykstra, and Kelsey Keizer; eight great-grandchildren, Rebecca Van Regenmorter, Sean Oolman, Carissa Oolman, Emnily Van Regenmorter, Ethan Van Regenmorter, Julianna Oolman, Kendra Van Regenmorter, and Dylan Oolman; and her sister, Wilhelmina Sjaarda of Valley Springs, SD.
Carrie has now joined in heaven, her parents, John and Eibertje Klein; husband, Jake; grandson, Brian Bussema; great-granddaughter, Kaylee Van Regenmorter.
