Boyce; Aileen Margaret
Peacefully, at Meaford Long Term Care Centre on Thursday, October 12, 2017 formerly of Markdale, in her 97th year. Beloved wife of 40 years to Ian Boyce. Dear mother of the late Eric Zimmerman and mother-in-love to Janet Cope. Adored Grandma of Martin Cope. Predeceased by brother Joe Cannon. She will be greatly missed by many nephews and nieces.
Aileen was born on January 30, 1921 in Toronto, having lived for some time in Philadelphia, which sparked the travel bug in her. Having been a world traveller she lived in Shanghai for 2 years, and also travelled Wales, Europe and much of the US. Aileen was inspired by children, babies and dogs and spend time whenever she could entertaining them. She was part of many different groups over the years including the Glenelg Friendship group and the ladies group within the Church of Christ.
She loved classical music and spent many hours listening while gardening, with a particular love for daisies and delphiniums but more than anything she had a great love for her Church and church family.
The family will receive friends at the Church of Christ, Meaford (113 Nelson St W), on Saturday, October 21 from noon until the time of service at 1pm. Cremation has taken place. Memorial contributions to Great Lakes Christian College or charity of choice would be gratefully appreciated. Online donations and condolences at www.fawcettfuneralhome.ca 888-924-2810
