Kirsten Emily Terborg Obituary

Kirsten Emily Terborg, age 48, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, October 24, 2020, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Kirsten was a beloved teacher of 27 years at Grand Haven Christian School, where she began work just after graduation from Calvin University. She was known for her kindness, generosity, and joyful spirit, as well as her smile and sense of humor. Kirsten loved teaching, and her students, current and past, will remember her for her innovation, excitement, and passion to impart her love of Jesus in their lives. She also loved her four wonderful cats, Broadway Theatre, had a guilty pleasure of “reality” TV, and also became a fan of minor league baseball. She was a committed and loving aunt to her nephew Bennett Silva, and her nieces Rachel, Flora, Kate, and Tessa Buursma. She is survived by her husband Douglas, her mother, Mary Bolles, her sister, Grace (Bob) Silva, her parents-in-law Bob and Beth Terborg, and her sister-in-law Kristin (Tom) Buursma. She was preceded in death by her father Dennis Bolles. Cremation has taken place and due to Covid a memorial to celebrate her life will be planned for a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Kirsten Terborg Grand Haven Christian School Tuition Assistance Memorial Fund at the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation, One South Harbor, Grand Haven, MI 49417.
