Mrs. Linda Buster was the organist. The pallbearers were Seth Schreur, Micah Schreur, Michael Blom, Bill Bokhoven, Gary Bokhoven and Robert Bokhoven. Burial was in the Oakwood Cemetery in Pella.
Mr. Bokhoven died Sunday evening, Jan. 21, 2001 from acute leukemia. He had been diagnosed with the disease in November 2000.
He was born Sept. 26, 1923 near Taintor, Iowa. He was the sixth of 10 children that were born to Harmanus W. and Antonia C. Verploegh Bokhoven. Art attended country grade schools. On Oct. 4, 1945 he married Freda Fern Pothoven. The couple had two daughters, Karen Joy and Darlene Gail. They were living at Sully, Iowa when Freda died August 4, 1953 at the age of 28 years due to infectious hepatitis. Art was left with his two young daughters and then made his home with her parents, John and Goldie (Tysseling) Pothoven. He and his two daughters were enroute to their rural home when they were involved in a tragic auto accident south of Sully in Mahaska County Nov. 8, 1953. Art's youngest daughter Darlene died from her injuries received in this accident at the age of two. Art and his daughter Karen recovered from their serious injuries and then moved into Pella, Iowa in the summer of 1954 where they made their residence with his parents. Art then began working at Brom Hatchery and later for Bakker and Rus Feeds in Pella. On May 28, 1959 he married Phyllis Jean (Veenendahl) Lauterbach at Pella, who was a daughter of Marion and Sarah Veenendahl. They had three children, Jeffrey Dean, Kelvin Eugene and Lisa Mae. Following their marriage, Art and Phyllis built their home just west of Pella. Art continued in the feed business the remainder of his lifetime. Fifteen years ago, at the age of 62 years, he developed his own pig feed formula which he was still delivering at the time of his last illness. He operated his business under the name, Swine Consultant Services. Art maintained an active interest in his business and thoroughly enjoyed the swine industry.
Art made profession of his faith at and was a member of the Peoria Christian Reformed Church in Peoria, Iowa until he moved to Pella. He then became a member of the First Christian Reformed Church where he was a faithful member at the time of his death. He had served as a board member for Pella Christian Grade School and was a member of the Iowa Pork Association. For 20 years, Art served as the "Town Crier" during Pella's Annual Tulip Time, a position he currently held. His family remembers him for his love and devotion for them; the enjoyment he found in raising pigs; and the pleasure he found in growing flowers.
Art is survived by, his wife, Phyllis; his oldest daughter, Karen J. and her husband, Harvey Schreur of Princeton, Minn.; his two sons and their wives; Jeffrey D. and Kari Lynn (Venenga); Kelvin E. and Jodi Lynn (Staker); and his youngest daughter, Lisa M. Bokhoven all of Pella, Iowa; and six grandchildren. They are Heather Schreur and her fiancee, Dan L. Vander Beek of Pella; Seth Schreur and his wife, Sarah also of Pella; Micah Schreur at home; Katlyn, Marlee and Jessa Bok-hoven all at home; and his anticipated first great-grandchild, a child to be born to Seth and Sarah Schreur.

Phyllis Jean Veenendaal was born on November 5, 1932, at Pella, Iowa. She was an only daughter born to Marinus and Sarah Stouwie Veenendaal. Phyllis attended the Pella Christian Grade School and made her home with her parents as a young girl.
On September 15, 1953, she was united in marriage with Paul Lauterbach. The first day of their honeymoon, September 16, 1953, he was killed in a tragic automobile accident. Phyllis continued to make her home with her parents. On May 28, 1959, she was united in marriage with Arthur Henry Bokhoven at Pella. Art had lost his first wife, Freda Fern Pothoven, on August 4, 1953, at the young age of 28 years due to infectious hepatitis, and his youngest daughter, Darlene Gail, at the age of 2 ½ years on November 8, 1953, in a tragic automobile accident south of Sully, Iowa. Phyllis and Art and his older daughter, Karen Joy who was born on October 17, 1948, became a family and were joined by three other children: Jeffrey Dean who was born on July 19, 1961, Kelvin Eugene on November 14, 1962 and Lisa Mae on September 19, 1966. Following their marriage Phyllis and Art built their home west of Pella, which at that time was Dr. Verploeg's pony farm. Art operated his own feed business under the name, Swine Consultant Services, while Phyllis was a dedicated homemaker. For many years she worked as a beautician cutting hair. Phyllis enjoyed doing hand work, quilting and doing volunteer work. On Sunday morning, May 10, 2009, she passed away at the Pella Regional Health Center in Pella at the age of 76 years, 6 months and 5 days.
Those who will cherish her memory are four children and their spouses, 11 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. They and their families are: Karen and Harvey Schreur of Princeton, Minnesota; Jeffrey and Kari L. (Venenga) Bokhoven of Pella, Iowa; Kelvin and Jodi L. (Staker) Bokhoven of Pella, Iowa; Lisa M. and Bruce Freesemann of Altoona, Iowa.
Phyllis was the last surviving member of her original family and leaves her sister-in-law, Mary (Jerry) Veenendaal of Pella; along with the following sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law: Jeanne (Bokhoven) and Dr. Clarence Vos of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Irene (Bokhoven) and Lawrence Blom, Dena Bokhoven, Anne Bokhoven all of Pella, Leonard and Ruth Roose of Phoenix, Arizona, Marie (Herman) Bokhoven of Pella; Ruth (Lauterbach) of Council Bluffs, Iowa and Gertrude (Lauterbach) Burch of Cedar Falls, Iowa.

Phyllis was an active, faithful member of the First Christian Reformed Church in Pella where she enjoyed quilting and sewing. Her family remembers her sitting on the northwest corner of the square during each parade of Tulip Time, watching for her late husband, Art Bokhoven, as he walked by ringing his bell as Pella's Town Crier and later for her son Kelvin, who inherited that role. The love she had for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and the enjoyment and pleasure she experienced being surrounded by family and friends will be a cherished memory for her family.
