RANDOLPH - Hendrene Johanna Alsum, 89, of Randolph, has gone home to where she wanted to be, in Jesus arms. She died peacefully on Tuesday, July 1, 2008, at the Golden Living Center - Continental Manor in Randolph.
Hendrene was born on May 12, 1919, in Perkins, Iowa, a daughter of Stephen and Johanna (Van Wesep) Van Roekel. Following her formal education, Hendrene moved to the Randolph area to teach at the Christian School in East Friesland. On Aug. 1, 1940, she was united in marriage to George Alsum and they farmed near Randolph for many years. She was a dedicated, faithful member of Second Randolph Christian Reformed Church, where she participated in the Women's Society and was often a leader for the Bible study.
