Known as the ``Blood Pressure Lady'' throughout the Tidewater business community, Mrs. Boyance established the High Blood Pressure Association as a community service agency to help working people.

Mrs. Boyance requested the following message to be printed: ``To all my hard working business colleagues and friends, I give you my heartfelt thanks for your courtesy and kindness. To my personal friends and family, you know how much I love you and how fortunate and grateful I was to have each and every one of you in my life. It was an honor to have known you.''

Mrs. Boyance's body was donated to the Eastern Virginia Medical School for the benefit of medical education.

A memorial service will be held Saturday at 11 a.m. in The Church of Ascension Catholic Church, 4853 Princess Anne Road, Virginia Beach, by the Rev. James E. Parke. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested memorial donations may be made to The Church of Ascension Catholic Church.
