Hermina was born on July 29, 1920, on a farm between Orange City and Maurice, the daughter of John and Marie (Huisman) Kiel. As a child, she worked on the farm, helping with the large garden and orchard. She often spoke of her love for her "mother’s fresh cherry pie." As a teenager, she was employed at the Kalsbeek Market in Orange City.
On October 2, 1941, she married Steven Hulstein. They farmed near Carmel until 1945, when they moved to a farm between Boyden and Hull. She enjoyed farming, including milking cows, feeding calves, and almost any other chore that needed doing. Steve passed away in 1980.
Hermina continued dairy farming with her son, Glenn, until 1986, when she purchased a home in Hull. She planted flowers at Den Hoed’s Greenhouse near Boyden until the age of 75. In 2006, she moved to the Homestead Cooperative in Hull. She enjoyed her new home and loved the other residents who were so helpful towards the end of her stay. In the spring of 2015, she transferred to the Pleasant Acres Care Center in Hull.
She was a member of the Hope Christian Reformed Church, where she enjoyed going to a Bible study. She liked working and helping others. She looked forward to crocheting and making blankets for her children and grandchildren.
Survivors include her two sons and their wives, Stanley and Cindy Hulstein, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and Glenn and Marjean Hulstein, of Hull; six grandchildren, [redacted]; fourteen great-grandchildren, [redacted]; two sisters, Mary Addink and Evelyn Kroeze, both of Orange City; five sisters-in-law, Edna Kiel, of Fullerton, California; Geri Kiel, of Orange City; Grada Kiel, of Sioux Center; Joan Kiel, of Sheldon; and Myrtle Kiel, of Orange City; and many nephews and nieces.
