Clazina Hoksbergen
JUNE 25, 1929 ~ DECEMBER 20, 2018 (AGE 89)

Clazina Gertrude Hoksbergen was born June 25, 1929, to Everett and Allie (De Kock) De Jong, at the family farm south of Sully. She left to join the Lord on December 20, 2018, at Jefferson Place in Pella.

Clazina attended Chester Country School where she was the only person in her grade during all of her grade school years. She went on to graduate from Sully High School.

In 1947, she met Harold Hoksbergen and he courted her for three years before their marriage on November 2, 1950, in Sully. They began married life on a farm down the road from Harold’s parents’ farm. Clazina moved back to her parents’ farm while Harold was serving in the Korean War. After his return, they settled on a farm that Harold had grown up on near the Lynnville/Taintor area. They were blessed with five children: Ron, Charlene, Carroll, Cindy and Donna. In 1970, they moved to Pella so their children could attend Pella Christian High. Clazina worked at Jaarsma Bakery, and cleaned offices at Central College. Her hobbies included crocheting, sewing, and making dolls and crafts. Harold and Clazina also enjoyed travelling and visiting their family and grandchildren wherever they were living.

Clazina and Harold were members of Peoria Christian Reformed Church where she was a member of Ladies’ Society and the Peoria Christian School Circle. When they moved to Pella, they became members of Faith Christian Reformed Church. Clazina has worked on the flower committee, as a church librarian, and at the sewing days.
