Remembering Norma Terpstra

On Tuesday, November 29, 2022, Norma L. Terpstra’s faith became sight and is now beholding her Jesus face to face. Norma, age 91, of Grandville, was a kind and loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother who dearly loved her family. She was a faithful prayer warrior who fervently prayed for each family member daily. Norma lived out her faith by example and had a true servant’s heart that blessed many families. Over the years, many missionary families were hosted at their home. Even through her challenges with her vision, she persevered through many things and was content in all circumstances. She was preceded in death by her husband of 71 years, Jack; son-in-law, James Borst; brother-in-law and sisters-in-law, Arnie and Mary Lynn Terpstra, Linda Duell.

Norma was a wonderful sister-in-law/love. We appreciated her kind spirit and love of all people. She was a spiritual friend and encourager. We miss our lunches every week with her and Jack. Though blind, her memory was sharp. If you told the same story differently, she might ask Why? Sorry we are not able to be there with the family. Love and prayers, Yvonne and Al Bytwork AJ.mysite.com 3 John 2
