February 25, 2021

Nancy K. (VanRegenmorter) Bos, 81, of Hudsonville, MI, passed away on February 25, 2021, due to complications with cancer. Born to Hubert and Catherine VanRegenmorter of Jamestown on October 19, 1939, Nancy, who spent a lifetime praying for her family and friends, had loving blue eyes, a keen mind, and a passion for the Lord. She was preceded in death by her gentle, loving husband David Bos by seven months. They had been married 59 years. She leaves behind her three children, Michael (Cheryl) Bos of Hudsonville, Jane Bos of Jenison, and Jackie (Doug) Roskamp of Holland; and nine grandchildren: David, Christian, and Svetlana Bos, and Catherine “Catie”, Joseph, and Anna Luimes, and Abigail, Danielle, and Victoria “Tori” Roskamp. All their hearts are breaking as they say goodbye to their precious Grandma. She was a wonderful role model, cheerleader, and friend to them all. Nancy also was preceded in death by her parents; parents-in-laws, Myrtle and Henry Bos, of Holland; her sister and brother-in-law, Martha and Roger VanKlompenberg of Jamestown; and her sister-in-law, Mary Brill. Surviving are her siblings-in-law, Dawn (Jerry) Bredeweg of Holland; and her brother-in-law, Richard Brill of Grandville; as well as several nieces and nephews. Nancy graduated from Unity Christian in 1957, and earned her Bachelor’s degree from Calvin College (1961). She spent 31 years teaching girls physical education and serving as a counselor at Hudsonville Christian Middle School (1969-2000), impacting the lives of thousands of students. She loved them all, and cared for the total well-being of each individual. Her many friends will attest to her faithfulness to her Savior and her willingness to cover them in constant prayer. Nancy also coached the Hudsonville Unity Christian’s girls tennis team in the 1970’s and played travel tennis and softball, giving her daughters a shining example of what girls can do. She was also known for digging out power tools and tackling projects, like fixing the dryer, and saving her family from spiders. She left a legacy of laughter and determination for all her children and grandchildren. Her family plans to hold a private, faith-filled funeral service on Saturday, March 6. Memorial contributions can be made in her name to Hudsonville Christian School, 3485 Oak St., Hudsonville, MI 49426.

Dear Mike, Jane, Jackie and families, I was sad to read of the death of your mother. My connection to your dad and mom goes back to the 60's when your dad taught at Sylvan Christian. I was one of his students. Our paths crossed again when I joined the faculty at Unity Christian in 1973. I was my privilege to work with your dad and to become friends with your mom. I was doubly blessed to have had all of you in class. Mike, I have a special remembrance of you because when I was a sophomore at Unity my family lived one block away from your mom and dad. They were going to visit with the Timmers who lived just down the street on Parkwood, but they did not have a baby sitter for you. That's when they called me. Without going into too many details before the night was over I had to call my mother to come help me with this boy who would not stop crying. That was the last time I babysat anyone. A few years ago I visited with your parents. It was great to relive some of our shared experiences. You are in my prayers. Love to you all. Jim Reiffer

I want to extend my deepest condolences in the loss of your mother. I became acquainted with her when I worked with your father, my friend Dave, as the athletic director at Sparta High School. They both were true examples of caring, compassionate Christians. I did not get the opportunity to say good-bye to your dad, so now, I want to express my deep respect and love for both of them.

It is always sad to have one of my high school classmates pass on, but particularly so with Nancy who beat me grade wise at Unity. My deepest sympathy to her family.
