BOYCE, Erica Renee

The White Mountain Independent, Show Low, Arizona ~ January 27, 2009 Erica Renee Boyce, 23, entered into her heavenly father's arms Jan. 6, 2009. Erica was born in Phoenix March 30, 1985. She had a smile that would light up a room and a personality that was both infectious and contagious. Erica was the person that everyone gravitated to. She could pick you up when you were down, make you laugh when you were sad and give the shirt off her back if you needed it. She will be surely missed and was incredibly loved by everyone who knew her. Erica is survived by her father, Frank; mother Tina; stepmother Romy; sisters Heather and Brooke; brothers Layton and J.R. and extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. A celebration of her life was held Sunday, Jan. 11, with a rosary at Whitney and Murphy Funeral Home in Phoenix. Funeral services were held at St. Theresa Catholic Church in Phoenix Monday, Jan. 12. Interment followed at St. Francis Catholic Cemetery. Whitney and Murphy Funeral Home in Phoenix handled arrangements.
