It is with deep sorrow that we announce the departure of Janie M. Boyd, who passed away peacefully on March 10, 2024. Born on February 13, 1930, Janie lived a remarkable 94 years, touching the hearts of those around her, with her captivating spirit and boundless energy.

Her life was characterized by her genuine love for others and her firm belief in human kindness. Even in the face of adversity, Janie demonstrated immense resilience, inspiring others to do the same.

She had an infectious smile that could instantly illuminate a room and a sense of humor that could lift your spirits even on the darkest of days. She was a pillar of strength for her family, a dedicated parent devoted friend, and a beacon of hope and love in her community.

Janie's vibrant personality and her zest for life continues to live on through the many narratives of those who had the pleasure of knowing her. She has left a permanent mark etched on our hearts and will be greatly missed.
