Obituary of Rhoda Elaine Boyce
The family of Rhoda Boyce would like to announce her peaceful passing after a life well lived. She passed away on Wednesday, July 17, 2024 at Bobby’s Hospice, with her beloved husband Joseph Boyce at her side.
Rhoda was born on September 2, 1942 in Minto, NB, the daughter of the late Mary Isabel Gow and Ron Garrett. Ron left the family early, Rhoda and her sister Pat were raised by a strong, independent, kind, resilient mother who provided them with a wonderful childhood.
Rhoda attended Vocation School where she met the love of her life, Joe, who followed her up the stairs and into her classroom. A Sadie Hawkins dance was the beginning of 66 years of a beautiful love story, they were best friends, business partners and soul mates. Family, faith and community influenced their business ventures including Rhoda’s Flea Market and Craft shows. The Boyce Gallery and Ye Olde English Tea Room and Auction House. The last years of her life were devoted to writing a book about her faith and experiences that meant so much to her, entitled “Suns, Skies, Spirits.”
Her love for community was demonstrated through her charitable work, including The Canadian Thyroid Foundation, Amnesty International, World Vision, Plan Canada, Helping Hands for Haiti, Romero House and The International Thyroid Foundation.
Rhoda loved a good cup of (hot) King Cole tea, the river, and God’s beautiful sunsets. She was kind, strong, determined, intelligent, loving, and positive. An “Overcomer” who sought God’s message in all things. Her strength came from her unwavering faith. Her laugh was infectious and was passed on to many family members. Laughter and prayer were abundant in her life.
Rhoda’s children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were extremely loved and brought her much joy. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Rhoda is survived by her husband Joseph Boyce, son Edward Boyce (Jacqueline), daughters; Mary Jo Boyce (Sandy MacKay), Colleen Hatfield (Richard), Elaine Gilbert (Gary) and Julie-Anne Boyce, sister Patricia “Pat” Robertson.
