Her children, grandchildren and now great-grandchildren, have many of her 'works of love', in her many quilts and hand-embroidery she enjoyed doing as her hobby. Her sense of humor, smile, and her enjoyment of just sitting and visiting during tea-time will be missed.

Those left to honor her life with their memories are: her three sons, Ray (Navonne) Bosma and Larry (Linda) Bosma of Buffalo Center,
