IN LOVING MEMORY

Nellie Beatrice Boyd

Sep 19 1932 - Mar 31 2014

Nellie Beatrice Boyd nee Becker, of Allen, Texas, passed away on March 31, 2014. She was born on September 19, 1932, in Johannesburg, South Africa, to Christian and Margaret Beatrice (Varrie) Becker. Nell was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend; as well as a life partner to Victor Alan Duffus Boyd. Nell was an eternal nurse and mother, who mostly put others before herself, but still managed to live her life to the fullest. We shall remember her as an active person who pioneered recreational scuba diving in the early 50's, practiced and taught yoga and immersed herself in every activity that she took on, including lovingly dedicating herself to her husband and to raising two sons. We thank her for her love and trust, for educating us for life and her selflessness. May you rest now, peacefully!

She is survived by her loving sons, Alan Boyd of Allen, Texas, Wayne Boyd and wife Lindsay of Gladstone, Australia; grandchildren, Christine Boyd, Michael Boyd and Joanne Boyd.

Nell is preceded in death by her parents, Christian and Margaret Becker; and husband, Victor Alan Duffus Boyd.
