Patricia Gail (Parker) Bolyard

It is with deep sorrow, gratitude, and love that we announce the passing of Patricia Gail (Parker) Bolyard, fondly known as Patsy or Pat. Born in 1944 in Florence, South Carolina, she passed away peacefully in her home at the age of 82 in Titusville, Florida, on May 6, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of cherished memories with a family who loved her with deep, unwavering adoration.

Patricia lived a life centered around love, compassion, and selflessness. An angel to everyone who knew her, she was gracious in all she did, leading with a kind heart and gentle spirit. Prevailing in the face of adversity, she found success regardless of whatever the obstacle might have been, earning her degree in accounting and building a successful career as an accountant for Ampro Corporation. She led by example that anything in this world is possible through hard work, and that there is no secret to what God can do.

She loved being a mother and profoundly cherished her grandchildren, filling all of our lives with treasured memories of gardening, arts and crafts, completing and framing puzzles, reading, bowling, birding, and watching game shows. She had an affinity for cats and was known to carry peppermints in her pockets, warmly handing them out to anyone she saw, a testament to her nurturing, calm, and guiding force that will be greatly missed.

Patricia is preceded in death by her husband, Frank Bolyard, with whom she spent a beautiful 27 years filled with laughter and admiration. Together they shared a passion for traveling, visiting theme parks, discovering new restaurants, and coming home to their quiet life of gardening, sitting on their front porch swing, and watching the birds.

Patricia is further preceded by her parents, Catherine (Campbell) Parker and Raymond Parker Sr.; her sister, Ann (Martin) Ready; her brother, Raymond Parker Jr.; her stepson, David Bolyard; and her nephew, Michael Martin.

She is survived by her daughter, Catherine Dawn (Parker) Seymour (Randall Seymour); her grandchildren, Savannah Seymour and Zachary Seymour (Chelsea Seymour); her stepsons, John Bolyard, Mark Bolyard (Emma Bolyard); her late stepson David Bolyard’s wife, Joan Bolyard and their families; and her nephews, Raymond Parker (Kelly Parker); Marty Martin, and Mitchell Martin, and their families.

At Patricia's request her service will be private.

Flower arrangements for the family may be sent to Wylie-Baxley Funeral Home 1360 N. Courtenay Parkway, Merritt Island, FL 32953 by Thursday, May 14th at Noon.
