Anita Marie Boi

BRISTOL

Anita Marie Boi (nee Bernier) the beloved matriarch of the Boi family passed away peacefully on October 16, 2025 surrounded by her loving Miami team, with prayers, love and words of encouragement from her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as her devoted caregivers at The Palace Royale assisted living community in Kendall, Florida and her Vitas Healthcare hospice team. Born and raised in Bristol CT, Anita spent most of her 93 years in her home state surrounded by the family she adored. A proud graduate in the class of 1950 from Bristol High School, Anita worked for the State of Connecticut and culminated her long and distinguished 28-year career as the right hand to the Executive Dean of Tunxis Community College, Dr. Henry Hank Steeger. Anita was devoted to her family and volunteered as a new-baby snuggler at the Bristol Hospital and University of Connecticut newborn departments. Traveling, playing cards, reading and destroying all challengers in games of Farkle while loving her family and friends fiercely were some of her many joys. Anita was beautiful, kind and selfless with just the right amount of sass and humor to keep things lively. Her door was always open to warmly welcome visitors. She was predeceased by her mother Sylvia and father Joseph Bernier, brother Norman Bernier and beloved daughter-in-law Kathy (nee Ross) Boi. Her husband of 70 years Augustus Gus Boi retired as an industrial engineer for Stanley Tools. He passed away on January 8, 2021. Anita and Gus are once again reunited and are laid to rest at St. Joseph's cemetery in Bristol, CT. Anita is survived by her sisters Dolores Brady and Linda DeMay in Connecticut, her four children, Barbara Greger and her husband Michael in Texas, Donna Veilleux and her husband Craig in Florida, Eileen Castolene in Pennsylvania and Keith Boi in Virginia. Additionally, Anita was blessed to have eight loving grandchildren, Kristen, Samantha, Mandy, Christopher, Josh, Nicole, Danielle and Stefan and ten wonderful great-grandchildren, Zayn, Arianna, Bella, Sadie, Vincent, Caiden, Arden, Landon, Sylvia and Nico.
