Biography
Greet Hogenhout-van Kerkhof was born on 28 August 1905 in Vijfhuizen in the province of North-Holland, Netherlands. She married Nico Hogenhout, with whom she had six children (two of whom she outlived), nine grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren. She lived on a farm in Osdorp until 1956, when she and her husband were forced to moved due to the construction of the new neighborhood Westelijke Tuinsteden in the capital of Amsterdam.
She eventually moved to Badhoevedorp and lived there on her own until 1998.
