Margarett Boyce was born on January 3, 1933 in Beaumont, TX to Ira and Eunda Myers Cole. She married the love of her life, Jim Boyce, in 1951, and he preceded her in death in 1991. Margarett’s most joyful work for many years was her in-home daycare, MiMi’s Angels. She was a very creative person, a wonderful seamstress, enjoyed painting ceramics, and was well known for her cooking, especially her cream pies and fruit salad. She also became very talented at baking wedding cakes, giving them as wedding gifts. She was a sports mom and was very active in her families activities, including the Randall County Sheriff’s Posse, Kids Inc., little league baseball, and church activities. Margarett was a long time member of the First Baptist Church of Canyon and was active in the Abigail Sunday School class. Margarett was also preceded in death by her son, James Boyce, five brothers, Wesley, J. D., and Donald Cole, and Edwin and Orrin May, and one sister, Mary Lee Cole. The family would like to thank William Biggs, M.D., Joel Osborn, M.D., Texas Tech Surgical Physicians, NWTH Hospitalists, Brian Weis, M.D., and North West Texas Hospital for the years of wonderful medical care they provided. They would also like to thank Heritage Nursing and Rehabilitation for providing a loving home and friendship.
