Tylene was born at home on December 17, 1941 in rural Hull, IA, the first of four children born to William and Sadie (Rikkers) Kosters.  She grew up in Orange City and graduated from M-OC High School as the Salutatorian of her class of 1960.  During her later years of high school she caught the eye of a neighbor boy who became the love of her life.  She married Allen Zevenbergen on her birthday, December 17,1960 so they could move together to his first teaching job in SW Iowa.  They were blessed to be married for over 63 years.
