Jean Boyer Obituary

Jean A. Boyer

Avondale, PA - It is with great sadness that the family of Jean A. Boyer announces her passing on Monday, October 9, 2017.

Jean will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Rhonda and husband Bob, her son David and his wife Yolande and her granddaughter Ava as well as many close friends within the community. She was predeceased by her husband of 59 years R. Warren Boyer.

Jean spent her early years in Pennsylvania, proudly graduating from West Chester University in 1952. She taught for several years in Pennsylvania before moving to Delaware where she taught for 28 years. She had a lasting influence on many of her elementary students and made lifelong friends with many of her colleagues from North Star and H.B.duPont Schools.

Jean was an avid bridge player. She enjoyed attending many theater and music programs at the University of Delaware and in Wilmington. She loved nature and particularly loved watching her birds as they visited feeders she always had around her house. She and Warren traveled with friends to many places in the United States, always being sure to take the time to appreciate the wildlife native to the places they visited. Most of all, Jean enjoyed spending time with family and friends, always interested to hear what was happening in their lives.

A Memorial Service and celebration of life will be held on Saturday, April 14th, 2018 at 11am at Deerfield Country Club (507 Thompson Station Rd, Newark, DE 19711) in the Sussex Atrium. There will be a one hour service followed by a buffet lunch.

Memorial contributions can be made in memory of Jean and Warren Boyer, University of Delaware Resident Ensemble Players, Office of Development, 83 E. Main Street, University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716.
