1932 2022
Obituary of Mary Mildred Boardman Please share a memory of Mary to include in a keepsake book for family and friends. View Tribute Book Our mother, life coach, and friend was born in Marshall, Missouri on November 25,1932 and departed this world peacefully on November 27, 2022. Her battle with chronic illness has now transitioned into a new adventure she had been preparing for her entire life. Preceding her in death were her parents (Rev Byron Hester & Mary Wheeler Hester), husband (Darwin Rice Boardman,Sr.), son (Darwin Rice Boardman, Jr.), grandson (Justin McAlister), and numerous amazing relatives. She is survived by three daughters; Millie (Terry) McClure of Ft Worth; Kim (David) McKenzie of Lubbock; Michele (Paul) McAlister of Georgetown; one son; Doug (Donna) Boardman of Anna, one daughter in law; Cecilia Boardman of Houston, Nine grandchildren; Mary Frances (Jim) Kajdasz, Trey (Jessica) Boardman, Chris (Stacey) McKenzie, Dustin (Jessica) McKenzie, Bryan Boardman, Matt Boardman, Paul McClure, Mark McClure, and Lindy McAlister. Ten great grandchildren. Mother accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior early in life and remained a faithful follower and member of the First Christian Church for all of her days. She was an accomplished pianist and shared her passion with hundreds of children by teaching private piano lessons for over 50 years. She loved her students and was always quick with words of encouragement to help prepare them for life’s challenges. She served as an elder in her church, sang in the choir, shared her wisdom and humor daily, loved unconditionally her family and friends, and left us an example of a life well lived. She knew the most important words she would hear at the end of life’s journey would be, “Well done my good and faithful servant.” We have absolutely no doubt that is exactly what she heard and we rejoice in her victory and share her belief that God’s promise is true: “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints” (Psalm 116:15). She will be missed but we know with certainty that she is in the presence of her Lord and Savior and has found His complete healing and eternal peace. Memorial service will be 11:00 a.m. Thursday, December 1st at the First Christian Church. The family would like to thank her church family and friends as well as Dr Robert Totoe, and Dr Farley Neasman for their considerate and compassionate care. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Mil’s memory to: First Christian Church 5125 Antilley Rd Abilene, Texas 79606, fccabilenetx.com.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Mary Mildred Boardman 1932 2022.
