It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Zelda Joan (Timmons) Boyce, age 74 on Saturday, October 16th, 2021 at the CBRH, Sydney. Born in Glace Bay and raised in Dominion, she was the daughter of the late Michael & Elsie (Dixon) Timmons. In her younger years, Zelda was employed at the General Instruments Company.
