Tom and Joy Bolin celebrate 70 years of marriage

Posted

Our parents, Tom & Joy Bolin, will be celebrating their 70th Wedding Anniversary on April 19th, 2021.

Their courtship began when Joy asked Tom if he would like a piece of lemon pie. Tom said “yes”, grabbed her
hand and has never let go! They married at Exchange Avenue Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
on April 19th, 1951.

Tom became one of the ministers at First Baptist Church of Katy in 1977, moving here shortly thereafter.
When he retired the first time in 1999, our parents were so humbled when many of the people of Katy gave of their time, talents and treasures, building the Bolin Chapel in their honor on the church grounds. It was built with the hands of many volunteers from the community and church.

Although He retired for the third and final time on the last day of December in 2016, their hearts and lives are still centered around the church. What a wonderful Legacy of Love, Faith and Prayer is passed to us!

We daughters thank every Katy Community member who have shared their love and sweet friendship with our parents through the years!
