Ms. Boardman loved spending time with her family. She was preceded in death by her loving daughter Donna (Boardman) Phillips and is survived by her loving daughters Susan Boardman, Lori (Jody) Boardman Fly, and Paula Boardman. She is also survived by her loving grandchildren Isaiah Phillips, Dylan Fly, and Leslie (Fly) Ward and husband Adam Ward and great grandchildren Ailidh and Ewan Ward. She also leaves behind beloved honorary family Jon and Leslie Welch and their daughters Molly and Annie Welch.



Ms. Boardman was a strong and resilient woman who never met a challenge she couldn’t face head on. She worked tirelessly to take care of her family and give them more opportunities than she had growing up. She was a loving and giving mother who was always there for her children, grandchildren, and honorary family no matter the time of night or day. She will be greatly missed.
