Nancy Boykin, a long-time resident of San Jose, CA, passed away on October 8th, 2024, leaving behind a community that deeply admired her strength and generosity. Nancy was known for her candid and direct approach, never hesitating to express her thoughts, but equally recognized for her kindness and willingness to help others in need. A member of the Recovery Cafe for many years, Nancy found great fulfillment in being part of the supportive community there, often expressing how much it contributed to her sense of belonging and purpose.
Her sudden passing has left her friends and loved ones grieving. She had no life insurance, prompting her friend Susan Richartz to organize a fundraiser to cover cremation and memorial service expenses. The first ceremony is scheduled for October 18th, with another one planned at the Recovery Cafe in November. Details will be shared with the community once finalized.
Nancy’s affection for her two beloved cats, Simon and Dallas, was well-known. The Recovery Cafe community has come together to ensure that her cats are re-homed, reflecting the love and care Nancy showed them.
As her friends and community gather to mourn her passing, they are reminded of the light she brought into their lives through her smile and upbeat attitude. Her legacy at the Recovery Cafe, and her love for those around her, will be remembered for years to come.
We extend our deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved Nancy Boykin. May her spirit live on through the memories she created, and may her family and friends find peace and comfort in this difficult time.
