What a sweet and compassionate lady! Mrs. Boinske was certainly a bonus in our guidance department! The faculty loved her and most importantly, the kids loved her. So very sorry to hear of her passing. Mrs. Boinske was a great role model and it is wonderful just thinking of all the young lives that she must have touched!

I had Paul at SHS for Chem and Physics. I got my Master's in Chem and went into teaching because of them and the example they were. It was weird that I also lived right across the street from them in the Avenues and knew them long before SHS. Quality people!!!

I am the late Bill Martin's daughter, Michele Jefford from Florida. My mother Kathryn is still living here near us. Aggie and Paul were VERY close friends of our family. I think Aggie was the epitome of "womanhood" and I loved her very much. Aggie was close to the last survivor of all of our NJ friends. I will pray support for all of you during her service this morning. I am sure there is a "bridge" game in heaven's reuniting of old friends. God bless you all, Dave, Michele, Emily, and Cali Jefford with Mary and Daniel Wright

what mentors both she and her husband were to us in Salem High School. Only wish there were teachers like them now!! I had her for typing and Mr. Boinske for Chemistry and Driver's Ed. I was just having fond memories about both of them the other day with one of my friends. There were such an asset to Salem High!! Fondly, Jane Harris Fogg

Mrs. Boinske was a great teacher and friend. She was our class adviser for the class of '64, and will be greatly missed. May she enjoy her eternal peace.

To the family and friends of Mrs. Boinske. Agnes was a lovely lady and wonderful teacher. I had the pleasure of her teaching me and her signing my yearbook [class of 64]. I also remember getting to see her at St. Mary's at Mass. God rest her soul. Her spirit will always live on with us.
God Bless!
