Jennie Boer (nee Koster) age 86 of Kinnelon passed on Thursday, August 23, 2012.
She was born on January 4, 1926 in Hilversum, Netherlands and when she was just eighteen months old her family moved to the United States. The family came by ship into New York City and settled in Prospect Park New Jersey. Jennie went to the eighth grade before having to go to work to help support the family. She got a job at the Faber Laundry in Haledon where she ironed shirts. She met John Boer at Church in Passaic and the fell in love and married on March 21, 1946. They attempted to go on their honeymoon but after too many flat tires (you couldn’t buy tires as WWII was just concluding and rubber was nowhere to be found) they returned home. Jennie lived in Wayne for forty-one years and lived in Kinnelon for the past twenty-four years.
Jennie was a devoted member of the Free Reformed Church of Pompton Plains.
She is best described as a reserved person with all but family with whom she would share her many and sometimes strong opinions. She also loved to drive and purposely made a detour through North Dakota so she could tell everyone she has driven in all 48 contiguous States. For a number of years she also drove a school bus for the Netherlands Reformed Christian School in Pompton Plains.
Jennie was the loving wife of the late John Boer(2002); devoted mother of Geri Fontana and her husband Philip of Montville, Sarah Okken and her husband John of Pequannock, Jennie Reganess and her husband John of Newton, John Boer and his wife Carole of Jackson, Corie Rieder of Lord’s Valley, PA, and Dereck Boer and his wife Catherine of Kinnelon; dear sister of Evelyn Hoogmoed of North Haledon, and Jasper Koster and his wife Mary of Prospect Park; cherished grandmother of 19 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Netherlands Reformed Christian School, 164 Jacksonville Road, Pompton Plains, NJ 07444 or the Free Reformed Church, 160 West Parkway, Pompton Plains, NJ 07444 would be appreciated.
