Elaine Boyce age 93, died Monday, February 17, 2020 at her daughter's home. She was born December 18, 1926, in Chelsea, the daughter of Norman Harold & Lenore Eva Margarita (Kalmbach) Schmidt. She was a graduate of Chelsea High School, class of 1944. She earned her RN from Deaconess Hospital. She was a nurse for both Dr. Joseph Fisher and Dr. Charles Krausse for many years. Elaine was a longtime member of the Order of Eastern Star. Elaine married Ellis Boyce on March 11, 1961. At that time she had a son, Charles Fredette. Ellis had two sons, Alan and Floyd Boyce. After Ellis and Elaine joined families they were blessed with two daughters, Kimberly Ann Boyce and Carol Lisa Boyce. Jim and Carol lovingly cared for both parents for many years. For that gift our families are eternally thankful. Thanks also to Ronen Sherman, Kim's husband, for his assistance with Ellis and Elaine.
Ellis and Elaine !oved spending time at their Betsie River cottage and mushrooming. They also enjoyed traveling together. They made two trips together to Omaha Beach for D-Day anniversary events. They also attended events at the D-Day Museum in New Orleans (Ellis was a D-Day survivor). Elaine was a die-hard Michigan fan (that's an understatement)!
