Willis Bouma Obituary

Willis A Bouma, 97, passed away September 29, 2022, at Crown Point Assisted Living in Stevensville. He was born August 8, 1925, to Douwe and Helen Bouma.

Willis was a lifetime Watervliet resident. He served in the Army during WWII stationed in France and Germany. In 2020 he received the French Legion of Honor Medal. Willis was very proud to have served our country and never hesitated to take part in local parades. Willis loved his family, fishing, and traveling.

Willis is preceded in death by his “bride” of 64 years Shirley, his parents, four brothers, three sisters, his son Richard “Rick” and a daughter LouAnn (James) Whorton.

He is survived by his daughter Sandra (Terry) Clark of Arkansas, nine grandchildren, and 11 great grandchildren.

Hutchins Funeral Home in Watervliet is assisting Willis’ family with cremation. A family celebration of life will be held in Arkansas. Willis will be returned to Michigan for a graveside ceremony with military rites at a later date.

Memorial contributions can be made to VFW Post #1137 in Watervliet or Caring Circle Hospice care of Spectrum Health Lakeland. You are invited to leave a message of comfort for Willis’ family.
