Dawn Boice, 87, went to be with her Lord on Saturday, March 21, 2026.

Dawn was a woman who allowed herself to be shaped by God, as in the parable of the Master Potter, forming great character; seeking after Jesus so His love was evident, shining through her eyes and smile, evident in her mothers’ touch and hospitality.

Serving with her husband John for 33 years in Lima, Peru as missionaries for the Gospel of Christ, teaching, playing music, and raising four children, she combatted various health challenges and all the trials of life with a ready wit, and perservering care for others.

Her lifetime practice of spending time with God through His word gave her the strength and encouragement she needed, especially leading up to and through her battle with Alzheimer’s.

The faith hammered out over life’s travails became ever more evident to others in these last years of her life. She was, like her husband, a person of prayer and praise.

The Visitation will be held on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM with a Funeral Service at 10:00 AM at Hultgren Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 565 Randy Road, Carol Stream, IL 60188.
