Remembering Kristine Lynn Dykstra

Kristine Lynn Dykstra, age 71, my beloved wife of 52 years passed into Glory with Jesus after a courageous battle with cancer on Wednesday, November 8, 2023. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Jerry; children, Kerry (Scott) Heyboer, Kim (Joey) Graham, Brad Dykstra; grandchildren, Charlie Heyboer, Quinn Heyboer, Gideon Heyboer, Sawyer Heyboer, Jaxson Graham, and Kennedy Graham; mother, Grace Boersma; mother-in-law, Dorothy Dykstra; brothers-in-law, Jack (Nancy) Huizenga, Richard (Paula) Dykstra, Stanley Dykstra, and many Boersma cousins, and many nieces and nephews. Kris was preceded in death by her premature daughter; father, Casey; sister, Mary Huizenga; grandmother, Florence Wiersma; father-in-law, Ralph Dykstra. Kris’ love was reading God’s Word daily and participated in Women’s Bible Study Fellowship, Tuesday mornings Bible study, and SoJourners adult Sunday School class where she was a prayer warrior. Her favorite verse was Isaiah 40:31. “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles”. A memorial service will be held at 2:30 pm, on Thursday, November 16, 2023, at Calvary Church, 707 E. Beltline NE with Rev. Josh Warren officiating. Relatives and friends may greet the family from 1-2:30 pm prior to the memorial service at Calvary Church. Those who wish may make memorial contributions to Faith Hospice.

Kris's love will live on... Her love for the Lord, Jerry, her family and so many others will continue to show God's greatness. Her cheerfulness and insights will be greatly missed. We pray that her tribute will be lived out by her next generations. And that Jerry will experience God's love and comfort in surprisingly deep ways. Kurt and Ginger Loosenort

My heartfelt sympathy to Kris' family and friends. She brought joy and laughter to all who knew her and I have wonderful memories of working together at Sylvan Christian and our "craft nights" often at her home. Her love for the Lord blessed many and I hope you will comfort knowing she is at peace.

My sincere sympathy to Jerry and family and to Mrs. Grace Boersma. Many good memories of Coral Valley years. You have my thoughts and prayers since I'm traveling and can't express them in person.
