A private family graveside service will be held in the spring at Maitland Cemetery. In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, gratefully acknowledged.
So saddened to hear of Aunt Evelyn’s passing (I have called her that since I was born -being one of my mom’s best friends).
Thankfully, she and I had a lovely telephone conversation not to long ago. And I was just thinking about her yesterday (scary) and thinking I should call her again.
She caught me up on her move, her wonderful grandchildren and Jeff.
We also talked about how Uncle Dalton and how long he had been gone. And how she missed him.
She told me how thankful she was for Larry’s kids and how attentive they were to her.
She also let me know how unfair it was that Danny was still not with us.
I will miss my Boyce family connection.
❤️ 😢
“To have a friend for over 20 years is a gift I never took for granted. Everlyn wasn’t just my best friend; she was the keeper of our shared history. from our younger days to the quiet moments of our later years. She was the one constant. While I am still coming to terms with her sudden departure, I find comfort knowing she left this world with the same fierce independence she lived it. My heart is heavy with her absence, but so full of the life we shared.”
Evelyn was a very special lady. Always stopped to say hi with a smile. Sincere Condolences to the family❤️

So sorry to hear about Evelyn. She was always so friendly and easy to talk to wherever you ran into her — at the arena or Tim Horton’s or just out and about. A wonderful lady now reunited with Dalton, Danny & Larry. May the rest of her family have fond memories to comfort them at this sad time.

Dear Evelyn’s family:
I will always remember Evelyn as a great baseball supporter. I played ball with Lois and Evelyn was usually at our games cheering us on. When I would see her, she always had time to stop and chat. She was a great lady, may she RIP.

So sad to hear the news of Evelyn passing. We grew up living next to the Boyce’s and always saw Evelyn and Dalton at the arena when our kids were growing up. She was always friendly and we would have good chats. I haven’t seen her for a few years but I know her and Dalton will be cheering away at a hockey game up there. Rest in peace and condolences to the families.
To the Boyce family. Evelyn was such a lovely person. Going to miss her at the arena and ball diamond. Always great to chat with. Our thoughts are with all of you at this sad time in your lives. Bill and Lia Hoggarth.

We were saddened to learn of Evelyn’s sudden passing, and we extend our sincere condolences to all her Boyce and Moore families. Ev was always a bright light when she worked at Tim’s, and I loved seeing her (and Danny before) volunteering during the Christmas season at the Salvation Army Christmas kettles.
Evelyn moved into Goderich Place when my Mom, Olive Chisholm, was already there, and their friendship went back many years of shared life experience.
I was happy to see Ev move into Southbridge where Mom now was, but they lived on different floors. Ev didn’t really want to be there, but knew it was for the best. And she ALWAYS knew how to make the best out of any situation. Rest in peace now Evelyn with your dear Dalton, Larry, & Danny. Your smile on Earth will be missed by so many.
My sincere condolences to the Boyce and Moore Families. Evelyn was a very special women, strong, compassionate, and caring. She was always a pillar of strength for her family during good times and bad. The world has truly lost another wonderful person, but I hope there is some comfort in knowing she will be in great company with those that have gone before her. I hope all the wonderful memories that she created throughout her life become the strongest feelings for you to hold onto. Donna Brander and Family
