Alberta Boyer, 1920-2019

Boyer, 99, died peacefully

at her home Oct. 15, 2019,

after a long and fulfilling

life.

She was born May 21,

1920, in Craigsville, Pa.,

the daughter of Clarence

and Rebecca Polumn Earley.

She attended a oneroom

school through the

eighth grade and thereafter

worked vigorously

in mostly caregiving positions

until retirement

from Paisley House in

1995.

Married to her loving

husband, Herman Boyer

July 3, 1941, they shared 62 happy years through the

rollercoaster ride of life until his death on Aug. 12, 2003.

Growing up, Alberta was a bit of a tomboy, enjoying

time spent with her dad at his blacksmith shop in Pennsylvania.

Given a choice between a bicycle and a horse,

a black stallion named King won her heart and created

a life-long devotion to horses.

As an adult she was a dear mother, wife, grandmother

and friend. Leisure activities included traveling,

ceramics, stamp and postcard collecting, jigsaw

puzzles and country music.

She was a faithful charter member of Heritage Presbyterian

Church for many years.

Leaving behind precious memories, Alberta is survived

by two loving daughters, Charlotte (Stephen)

Sackella, with whom she made her home and Maebelle

Trichell; five grandchildren, Tracey Wade, Tricia (Joel)

Church, Justin Trichell, Tod (Emily) Sackella and Brad

(Kristen) Sackella; 12 great-grandchildren, Tabitha,

Tiffany, Kevin, Kyle, Keith, Madison, Andrew, Mallory,

Morgan, Taylor and twins, Landon and Nicholas; and

seven great-great-grandchildren, Raelyn, Jamison, Dalton,

Cameron, Donovan, Jaxson and Darian Jr., all of

whom brought much joy and delight to her life.

In addition to her husband and parents, Alberta was

preceded in death by sisters Wilda Fair and Carrie Claypoole.

The Boyer family would like to express sincere gratitude

to Dr. Charles Wilkins for his expert professional

care and his kind personal concerns rendered over the

past 25 years.

Calling hours will be held 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct.

19, 2019, at Heritage Presbyterian Church, 1951 Mathews

Road, Poland. An 11 a.m. funeral service will follow,

with the Rev. Terri Swails officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made

to the church in Alberta’s name or to the charity of the

donor’s choice.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the professional

care of the Rossi Brothers and Lellio Funeral

Home, 4442 South Ave., Boardman.
