Elvira (Eve) Bodeman Downend Wilkinson Shirts

Lives a beautiful, strong life of joy. Committed to her faith, family, and friends. She is survived by her son James Wilkinson (Diane) and his four children, Tesiah (Conrad, great-grandchildren Henry, Fredrick, Thomas), Kathryn (great-grand children Peter, Bennet), Ryan, and Lane, and her daughter Tiffany Downend. She is a world traveler and spent ten years as a missionary for her beloved Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She volunteered for many researching records of genealogy and eternal families. In her 95 years, 1930-2025, she found peace and respect in documenting her life and journaling her observations and experiences, recording her testimony for posterity, and documenting the lives of her beloved parents, Pieter Fredrik Bodeman and Catherina Alida ten Boom. She joins her late husband Max L. Shirts 1917-2004 in eternity, with his 7 children, 28 grand children, 73 great-grandchildren, 11 great-great grandchildren.

She is loved and wished a wonderful time in her growth.
