Christina Boyd
1934-2021
Christina Marie Boyd, 86, of Moncton,
NB, passed away at The Moncton Hospital on June 10, 2021. Born in
Petersville, NB she was the daughter of the late Frederick and Lenora
(Brown) O’Neill, and beloved wife of the late Reid Boyd
(1997).
Chris joined the Air Force as a young
woman and met her future husband at her first posting.
Together they enjoyed military life and raised a family of four while
living at numerous locations across the country. After Reid
retired, they settled in River Glade, NB and started new careers as
market gardeners. They were fixtures at the Moncton City
Farmer’s Market for many years. Later, they opened
Boyd’s Greenhouse in River Glade and were well known for
their beautiful flowers and bedding plants. When Reid died
in 1997, Chris moved to Aurora, Ontario where she lived with her
daughter Catherine. She moved back to her home
province in 2007 and resided in Moncton until her recent
passing.
Chris loved her husband and her family
and was very proud of her five grandchildren. The walls of
her homes were always covered with photos of her favorite
people. She enjoyed romance novels, playing cards and bingo
and never missed an opportunity to go dancing. She was always ready
for a party and happy to hear a good joke. She will be
greatly missed by her family and her friends.
Survived and sadly missed by her
children, Tina Kennah (Scott), Andrew Boyd (Linda), Stephen Boyd
(Margaret), Catherine Carmosino (Gino); grandchildren, Carolyn,
Michael, Christiana, Sarah, Phoenix; siblings, Rose, Anna, Robert,
Cecelia; many nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents and husband,
Chris was predeceased by siblings, Teresa and Vincent.
