Jennifer A. Boyer

Jennifer A. Boyer was born on April 20, 1965, in Georgetown, to Samuel Boyer Sr. and Gloria Boyer. She was lovingly raised at 63 Cross Street, Werk-En-Rust Guyana, before migrating to the United States in 1985. Jennifer attended Saint Phillips All Age Anglican School, where she began forming the warm and vibrant spirit that so many would come to love.

After arriving in America, Jennifer resided in Brooklyn for two years before settling in Central Islip. It was there that she gave birth to her beloved son, Joseph Boyer, on November 22, 1995. Joseph was, and always will be, Jennifer’s pride and joy.

Despite the many challenges she faced with her heart condition and against medical advice, Jennifer remained determined, loving, and devoted to her family. She possessed a strength and resilience that inspired those around her. Jennifer was deeply loved by everyone who knew her.

Jennifer was preceded in death by her father, Samuel Boyer Sr.; her grandmother, Carmen Boyer; and all loved ones who welcomed her into eternal rest.
