Notes about Eugene Gene Roosma


Eugene Roosma has ended his earthly pilgrimage on January 12, 2014 and entered into his heavenly home made possibly by the incredible grace of our Lord Jesus and the unfailing love of our Heavenly Father. Gene lived for the last month in Harborview Medical Center in Seattle as he struggled to overcome complications after surgery to repair an aortic aneurysm.

Gene was born at home on the Benson Road, November 6, 1930 to James and Jennie (Bouwman) Roosma. He enlisted in the Navy in July of 1952 and served for 4 years. Gene married the love of his life, Elsie Broersma, on May 18, 1954. He worked for Georgia Pacific for 40 years and in retirement enjoyed raising and selling gladiolas to local florists.

Gene was an active member at Mountain View Christian Reformed Church where he had served as an elder.
