COLLEEN RUTH FISHER BOYD
Wife, Mother, Grandmother
Colleen Ruth Fisher Boyd, age 68 of Canonsburg, passed away at 4:05 pm Sunday August 18, 2013 of pancreatic cancer, with her loving family by her side. She was born April 14, 1945 in Pittsburgh a daughter of the late James and Ruth McClane Fisher. On February 17, 2013 she celebrated 41 years of marriage to Robert C. "Bubblegum" Boyd. She also leaves behind her stepson, since he was 8 years old, Michael R. Boyd, daughters, Tiffany L. Boyd and Beth Ann (Gino) Tatano, grandchildren; Theodore "T.J.", Thomas, Tova and Taliah Fratini, Marissa, Mya and Conner Tatano and step grandson Brandon Boyd.

Mrs. Boyd retired from the Port Authority of Pittsburgh when she married, to raise her family. She took great joy in her grandchildren and made many friends over the years around First Street School, while transporting them there. She enjoyed sitting on her patio and working in her flower garden listening to the "oldies". Left behind is her beloved Golden Retriever Cricket. During her recent stay at Washington Hospital, Mrs. Boyd received excellent care from Doctors and staff particularly on the 4th and 6th floors. She declined treatment to pass on her own terms and that is what she did. She will be missed.
