Nathan Boersma, Vocalist

Adieu mille fois!
Va! Repose en paix! Sommeille
Qu'un sourire d'enfant sur
ta bouche vermeille
Doucement vienne se poser!
Et murmurant encore: Je t'aime!
A ton oreille
Que la brise des nuits te porte ce baiser!

Farewell for a while
Go! Be sweet thy rest, thy dreaming!
On thy lip rosy red be a smile ever-beaming
May the smile for thy lover be,
Murmuring again "I love thee!"
Again near thee in seeming
May the breezes of night
bear on my kiss to thee!

"Because He Lives" "Great Is Thy Faithfulness"

Judy Boersma
Judy Lynn, daughter of Dale and Dorothy (Hoopes) Peck, was born December 7, 1941, at Denver, Colorado. She spent her childhood years in Kansas, graduating from high school in Russell, Kansas. Judy then attended Westmar College in LeMars, Iowa, where she earned her bachelor's degree in education.

While at Westmar, Judy met Douglas Duane Boersma, and on November 25, 1961, they were united in marriage at Russell, Kansas. They were both teachers at Greenville-Rossie schools for two years before moving to Manning in 1964. Judy took a position as a second-grade teacher in the Manning school before deciding to stay home with their three children. In later years, Judy was a substitute teacher in Manning. She also helped Duane as an office assistant in his insurance business until his retirement in February of 2004. Duane died suddenly and unexpectedly in September of that same year.

Judy was a member of the Faith Evangelical Free Church in Audubon, serving in several different areas. She enjoyed attending church and various Bible study groups. For much of her life, Judy devoted herself to her husband and children: Kevin, Molly and Nathan. In the past ten years, she delighted in spoiling her three grandchildren during their annual summer visits to her house. Judy surrounded herself with great friends and family who will all miss her deeply.

On Wednesday, March 21, 2007, Judy died from injuries sustained in a car accident south of Manning. She was 65 years, 3 months and 14 days of age.

Judy was preceded in death by her husband Duane.

She is survived by three children: Kevin Boersma and Tammy Otto of Manning; Molly and husband Duane Wilson of Eagle Grove; Nathan Boersma and wife Lee Ann of Lyndhurst, NJ; parents Dale and Dorothy Peck of Salina, KS; granddaughters: Heather, Amy and Sarah Wilson of Eagle Grove; sister-in-law Marlys and husband Edward Ross of Seattle, WA; many other relatives and friends.
