Marcia Boney Obituary
Pensacola, FL
Marcia Lois Kline Boney, former resident of Jackson, Mississippi from 1984 until 1992, died in Pensacola, Florida on Saturday, September 19, 2015.
She was the daughter of the late, Captain Wendell Fischer Kline, USN (ret.) and Lois Byrd Lovette Kline, who were natives of East Tennessee.
She was born in Bremerton, Washington on August 12, 1929 and grew up in California, Maryland, Panama, Washington, Florida, Hawaii and Virginia where her father was stationed.
She graduated in 1946 from St Margaret's School in Tappahannock, Virginia and in 1950 from Wellesley College in Massachusetts.
In the summer of 1949, she met Samuel Ashford Boney when he was an undergraduate at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. In 1955, they married and he became an Episcopal priest in 1959. In 1984, Marcia and Sam moved to Jackson where Sam served as Canon Pastor at St. Andrews Cathedral.
Marcia and Sam were married 60 years and together they ministered to communities in Tennessee and Mississippi before retiring and moving to Pensacola, Florida in 1992.
In 2001, they moved to Azalea Trace retirement community in Pensacola. In 2008, she dedicated herself to the work of Covenant Hospice as a Volunteer Patient Companion. She aided more than 79 residents of Azalea Trace and became a beloved member of the Hospice community.
During her life, in addition to her education interests, advocacy for seniors and work with Hospice, she traveled extensively through Europe, Russia, and Mexico. She also participated in many church and civic activities. These included active memberships at St. Andrews Cathedral in Jackson, St Mary's in Dyersburg, Tennessee, and Christ Church of Pensacola.
Marcia's survivors include her husband, Sam; three daughters, Charlotte Marie Boney, MD (Charles Lasitter) of Springfield, Massachusetts; Sarah Ashford Boney (Michelle Hearne) of Raleigh, NC and Lois Lovette Boney (Allen Evitts) of Raleigh, NC; grandchildren, Hannah Lois Bradshaw, and Ian Hardison Bradshaw.
In lieu of flowers, she requested memorials be sent to Covenant Hospice of Pensacola 5041 North 12th Avenue, Pensacola, FL 32504 or a Hospice in your community.

Marcia was so good to my mother, Alice Leonard, when she was in the nursing home care at Azalea Trace. What a wonderful woman. We were truly blessed to have had her touch our lives. May God bless you in this time of sorrow.

I always enjoy(ed) talking with Marcia and Sam (I always call them Mr. & Mrs. Boney!) at Azalea Trace, each time that I visit my mother there. We had some great conversations about Sewanee! Sam and Marcia used to always look in on my mom, Gloria Dawson, to see how she was doing. I loved her gracious wit! Blessings and condolences to the family. May fond memories bring you peace.
