Melva Lou Skrogstad was born on October 18, 1946 in Grafton, ND. She was the third of four children born to Howard and Mabel (Flom) Skrogstad.  She was raised on the family farm near Milton, ND and graduated from Milton High School in 1964.  She attended Dakota Business College in Fargo, ND.  In 1966 she was united in marriage to Ellerd Boe of Edmore, ND.  They lived for one year in Wahpeton, ND where Ellerd was attending school, and in 1967 they moved to West Fargo, ND, where they have resided since.  Ellerd and Melva were blessed with three children, Lisa, Christine and Ross.  She held several clerical positions over the years.  Ellerd and Melva also went to craft shows selling wood products and machine embroidered products for about 10 years.  Melva enjoyed traveling, flower gardening, photography and documenting family history. Many treasured memories were made on camping trips, at birthday gatherings with neighborhood ladies and Bible study groups. Melva knew she was forgiven and loved by God and saw God’s faithfulness to her throughout her life and as she looked forward to an eternal life with Him.
