Celebrating the Life of JuneMarie Boyce June 24, 1941 to February 17 2026
With hearts full of both sorrow and joyful hope, we celebrate the home-going of JuneMarie Boyce, who entered the presence of her Lord and Savior this week. While we will miss her dearly, we find peace in knowing she has been reunited with her beloved husband, John W. Boyce, and is resting in the mercy of God.

A Legacy of Love and Faith – Born on June 24, 1941, in Painted Post, New York, JuneMarie was the youngest daughter in a bustling, lively home of twelve children, including three sisters and eight brothers. On a beautiful Saturday in Townsend, New York on May 28, 1966, she married the love of her life, John. Together, they shared nearly 58 years of unwavering devotion, building a life centered on family.

Devotion to Family – JuneMarie's life was defined by the people she loved. A longtime resident of Madison, Ohio, she was the heartbeat of the family. Her greatest joy was found in the simple, precious moments spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

She is survived by: Her Daughter: Melissa Boyce-Bright and husband Arlie Bright. Her Daughter: Anna Burch. Six Grandchildren: Carl, Arthur (AJ), Hailie, and Merian; Justin and Christopher Anderson. Five Great-Grandchildren, who were the light of her later years.

Simple Joys and Lasting Memories – JuneMarie had a gift for making a house feel like a home. Whether she was working on a delicate crochet project, solving a crossword puzzle, or baking a batch of her legendary applesauce cookies, her hands were always busy serving those she loved. On any given sunny day, she could be found on her back porch, ready for a visit and a chat. The memories she created with "Dad" will be cherished forever, from the nostalgic trips back to the family home in Beaver Dams, New York, surrounded by a sea of aunts, uncles, and cousins, to the sunny adventures in Florida and Michigan.

A Heavenly Reunion – Though our "Mom" and "Grandma" has left our sight, her testimony of love remains. We praise God for His infinite mercy and rejoice that she is finally "home", free from earthly toil and reunited with John in the arms of the Lord.
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." ~ 2 Timothy 4:7
