Hasting's Reminder - Saturday June 26, 2021

Hoy Elaine Boger
A Life Well-Lived Joy Elaine Boger 1937-2021

On October 10, 1937, Joy Elaine was born to Linzey and Opal Leazenby of 
Clarksville. The youngest of four, she grew up on the family farm where she 
developed her love of gardening while working alongside her dad with just about 
anything it took to make the farm thrive.

She married Jacob Richard Boger in 1953. They set up their home and raised five 
children in Clarksville; Joette, John, Jim, Janine, and Jack (Rich). Her 
children would be the first to tell you that she was a devoted wife and mother 
and provided a loving home for her family.

As her children married, Joy embraced each new son-in-law or daughter-in-law and 
loved them as her own children. Adding another place setting to the Sunday 
dinner table was a delight. And oh, How she loved her grandchildren. They called
her "Mugga". She was so proud of them and accepted them unconditionally-17 
grands, 20 great-grands, and two great-great grands.

Joy's dearly beloved husband of 41 years was promoted to heaven in 1994. A few 
years later, she moved to Lake Odessa where she lived in the cute little brick 
house across from the park for 25 years. In addition to her family, she found 
great delight in her flowers, visits from family, and spending time with her 
special friend Kendall Cross.

Joy stepped on to the shore of heaven in the early hours of Monday, June 21, 
2021. In her final days, she was surrounded by the people most dear to her. She 
looked forward to heaven and never had an uncertainty of where she would spend 
eternity. She will e deeply missed, however we do not grieve without hope. "Bu 
we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that 
you man not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that 
Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those 
who have fallen asleep." I Thessalonians 4:13-14

We invite you to join our family as we remember and celebrate Joy Elaine Boger 
on Saturday, June 26, 2021. Visitation will be at 11 a.m., followed by a 
Celebration of Live service at noon, all at Clarksville Bible church,

Joy's love for flowers and the beauty of her life.

Arrangements by Koops Funeral Chapel, Lake Odessa.

Church to support their facility project.
