Milo - Kathleen “Kay” S. Boyer, 103, passed to her heavenly home February 15, 2026. She was born October 22, 1922, in Atkinson, the daughter of C. Elber and Alta (Smith) Stewart. The family moved to Charleston, where she grew up and married the love of her life, Merle O. Boyer Sr. She held several jobs throughout her life, mostly to afford the extra special things, such as an automatic washing machine and dryer. Kay is well remembered in the Milo and Dover-Foxcroft communities as a Weightwatchers and “Weigh Less” lecturer. “Welcome pilgrims, your search has ended.” However, her most important and cherished job was being a mother to four children and a homemaker. For twenty-four years, she enjoyed teaching third-grade Sunday school and sharing her love of God with children. She was a member of the Charleston, Milo, and Dover Baptist Churches.

Kay was predeceased by her husband, Merle Boyer Sr.; son, Merle Boyer Jr. and his wife, Bonnie; sons-in-law, Ernest Palmiter and Tony Brown; grandchildren, Cynthia Boyer and James Pickard IV; and sisters, Athalie Boyer, Christine Smith, and Wilma Carr. She is survived by her children, Anita (Bob) Theriault, Karen Boyer, and Loretta Brown; grandchildren, Seth (Stacey) Palmiter, Corey (Amie) Palmiter, Dawn (Tom) Murray, Kara Boyer, and Michelle (Patrick) Duffy; great-grandchildren, Robert, Kadon, Morgan, Meadow, Jack, Oakley, Benjamin, and Catherine; great-great-grandchild, Logan; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Kay leaves behind many wonderful friends with great memories of her. A special thank you to Hibbard Nursing Home for the great care and love they showed Kay while she was with them.
