It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Robin Elaine Boerma, born on October 24, 1968, in Lansing, Michigan. Robin went to be with the Lord on August 28, 2026, at the age of 57, with her loving family by her side. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Robin lived a fulfilling life rooted in compassion and care. A proud graduate of Montcalm Community College, she dedicated over thirty years of her life as a Licensed Practical Nurse, most recently serving at Medilodge, where her nurturing spirit touched the lives of many residents and their families. Her commitment to her profession exemplified her genuine love for helping others, and she always found joy in the small, everyday moments spent with her patients.
Beyond her professional achievements, Robin was an avid lover of music, having received awards for her clarinet playing in high school. She cherished the beauty of life, whether through travel, fishing, or enjoying a meal out with family and friends. Her deep affection for animals was only surpassed by her unwavering love for her family, whom she cherished above all else. As a devoted mother, she embraced her role with warmth and grace.
Robin will be lovingly remembered by her spouse, Elwynn Boerma; her son, Jacob Boerma; her father, Bill (Janell) Hess; her mother, Marjorie (Johnnie Morris) Markle; She is also survived by her brother, Will (Sherry) Hess, along with many other cherished relatives and friends.
