In loving memory of
May Darlynn Boyden
April 15, 1941 - March 19, 2024
May Darlynn Boyden, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to many has left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew her. With a brilliant mind and a heart overflowing with love and faith in Jesus Christ, she graced this world with her presence until her passing.
She is survived by her daughter Luanne Baca, Son-in-law Mario Baca Jr, Grandsons Justan & Matthew Baca, Nephew Robert Clevenger and many other extended family members. Her son, John Parker Boyden Jr predeceased her only five months earlier on October 11, 2023.
Born into a world of intellect and curiosity on April 15, 1941 in Fostoria, Ohio to Leslie & Lillie Clevenger, May pursued education with a fervor matched only by her passion for her family and faith. She graduated from Southern California College - Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Summa Cum Laude, Pepperdine University -Master of Arts in Psychology, Summa Cum Laude, and did post graduate work at University of California, Irvine and Berkeley as well as the Institute of Metapsychiatry. Her intelligence illuminated every room she entered, but it was her boundless capacity for love that truly set her apart.
As a mother, May poured her soul into nurturing and guiding her children, instilling in them the values of compassion, resilience, and kindness. Her love knew no bounds, and her children, grandchildren, and nephew were her greatest sources of pride and joy.
To her siblings, nieces, and nephew, May was not just a sister or aunt, but a steadfast confidante and unwavering source of support. Her wisdom and understanding served as a guiding light during both joyous and challenging times.
Though May may no longer walk among us, her spirit lives on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her. Her love, her laughter, and her wisdom will be deeply missed, but her legacy of kindness and compassion will endure for generations to come. May she rest in eternal peace, surrounded by the love of those who cherished her most.
