Obituary for Hilda Hoogenboom (Ten Dam)

Hilda (DeBoer) Hoogenboom (nee Ten Dam). In her 101st year, went to be with her Lord on Saturday, July 17, 2021. Born in Gaastmeer, Holland on March 21, 1921 to Pieter Ten Dam and Tryntje Van Der Goot, Hilda was the youngest of four girls. Married to Sijbren DeBoer on July 20, 1940, at the onset of World War II, Sjibren and Hilda had two boys in Holland and five girls in Canada after their immigration in 1947. They had enjoyed 30 years of marriage together when Sijbren passed away suddenly in 1970. Hilda remarried Arie Hoogenboom in 1972, with whom she had enjoyed 33 happy years of marriage when Arie passed away in 2005.

Hilda was a much-loved beppe of 20 grandchildren (+2 in Heaven) and an oer-beppe of 31 great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. Hilda was a founding member of the Jarvis Christian Reformed Church.
