Mildred C. Boyd (born September 13, 1921) died peacefully with her family by her side on March 10, 2021.  Born in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of William S. and Helen Regina (Young) Cox.  She was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband Lawrence J. Boyd, Sr., and her cherished daughter Joan Marie Boyd Davis. She is survived by her sister Doris C. Strasser of Dania Beach, FL; her loving sons Lawrence J.

Mildred grew up in Philadelphia and Oxford where she met the love of her life, Lawrence J. Boyd, Sr.  and were married on Valentine's Day in 1942. They went on to build a warm, loving family and shared 47 wonderful years together.  She worked at National Vulcanized Fiber and Pensupreme.  She enjoyed day trips shopping and sightseeing, visiting family out of state, the beach, and the mountains.  She was kind, charitable, wise, and had a sharp mind full of information and life experience.  She nurtured, loved, and supported her family every day and we are all so grateful to have had her in our lives for so many years.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Oliver H. Bair Co. funeral home:  8500 West Chester Pike, Upper Darby, PA 19082. Services and burial will be private.
