Wilma Nellie (Bosscher) Pursifull

Wilma Nellie Bosscher Pursifull, age 89 of Kentwood, passed away on Thursday November 14, 2025, at home in Wyoming, Michigan. She was born December 10, 1935, to the late Ira and Marge (Marsman) Bosscher.

Wilma graduated from Caledonia High School and then began working as a bookkeeper for Etna Insurance in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Approximately 6 years later she began working for Spoelman Accounting as a bookkeeper until she moved to Indiana with her husband, Dave, in 1985. She continued to work as a bookkeeper after moving to Indiana and eventually had her own bookkeeping service.

Wilma loved music and played organ and piano for Tallmadge Wesleyan Church for 25 years and then for another 20+ years at Riverview Community Church in Tippecanoe, Indiana until she moved back to Michigan in 2017. Wilma had a deep love for her Lord and her family. She also had a love for flower gardening, sewing, quilting, knitting, cooking and camp outs with family and friends at their home in Indiana. Many summers she would invite some of her grandchildren from Michigan to spend the week at Dave and her hobby farm in Indiana. In her later years, she and Dave loved to spend time in Florida during the winter.
