Boevers, age 87, of Waverly, Iowa, died on Thursday, July 4, 2019, at Bartels Lutheran Retirement Community in Waverly, Iowa. Burton was born on May 27, 1932, at Allen Memorial Hospital in Waterloo, Iowa, the son of William “Bill” and Nellie (Matthiesen) Boevers. Burton was baptized on June 12, 1932, at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church in Readlyn and was confirmed on April 11, 1946, at St. John Evangelical Lutheran of Crane Creek. Burton attended grade school at Maxfield #2, and graduated from the Readlyn High School in 1951. Following his schooling, Burton helped on the family farm. On October 12, 1952, he was united in marriage to Delores Mae Oltrogge at Zion Lutheran Church in Readlyn. The couple made their home on the Boevers family farm, located 2 miles east and ¾ mile north of highways 3 & 63. On June 5, 1953, Burton entered the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict. Burton served with H. Company, 47th Infantry Regiment, where he served in Germany for 15 months. Burton was honorably discharged on March 4, 1955.

He was a member of the American Legion Post #176 in Waverly, where he served as an officer and was very active in the Honor Guard. Burton enjoyed volunteering at the Waverly Health Center, farming, fishing, woodworking, as well as many trips throughout the U.S. with Delores and friends.
