Lois Helene Boerigter, 79, of West Olive, Michigan, passed away on March 16, 2026. Born May 25, 1946, Lois will be remembered with deep respect and gratitude for a life marked by steady devotion, caring strength, and faithful presence.
Lois graduated from Zeeland High School in 1964. Soon after, she met her husband, Wayne Boerigter, and together they shared more than 60 years side by side. They spent their lives in the West Olive/Zeeland area, where they raised three children, Brian, Bruce, and Beth.
A devoted and generous woman, Lois found joy in the everyday ways she could care for others. She loved quilting and was well known for baking pies, cakes, brownies, and much more. She especially cherished being a mom to her children—and to those who needed her. Lois also enjoyed spending time taking care of the kids in the church nursery. She was the kind of person who was always there and willing to lend a helping hand.
Lois was preceded in death by her husband, Wayne Boerigter; her daughter, Beth Boerigter; and her brother, Ken (Hazel) Jacobsen.
She is survived by her sons, Brian Boerigter and Bruce (Robin) Boerigter; her grandchildren, Austin (Stevie-Lynn) Boerigter and Michael Boerigter; and her great-grandchildren, Mattew Boerigter and Bryar Boerigter.
Visitation will be held at Noordeloos Chirstian Reformed Church (4055 112th Ave, Holland, MI 49424) on March 23, 2026, from 10:00 am to 11:00 am, followed by the Funeral Service at 11:00 am. There will be light snacks and refreshments available after the service for friends and family to continue spending time together.
Lois will be laid to rest at West Olive Cemetery, 8800 116th Ave, West Olive.
