Marita K. Boggs, 87, passed away on Feb. 14, 2025, at Miller's Merry Manor in Warsaw.
She was born on Sept. 29, 1937, in Mentone, the daughter of Dearl and Olive Tucker and spent her early years growing up in the Mentone area. She was a graduate of Mentone High School. Marita made her mark as a cheerleader, a role that instilled in her the values of support and positivity — qualities she carried throughout her life. Marita and Robert S. Boggs were united in marriage in Mentone on June 17, 1955.
Marita's professional journey included a brief tenure at R.R. Donnelley & Sons, where she contributed her talents in the human resources department. She was also co-owner of the family-owned and -operated pool table sales business. Later in life, after moving to an apartment in Warsaw, she dedicated her time to volunteering at Our Father’s House and the Kosciusko County Animal Shelter.
In addition to her work and charitable endeavors, Marita was a member of Palestine Bible Church. Her faith was an integral part of her life, guiding her actions and interactions. Musically talented, she enjoyed singing and playing the piano, sharing the joy of music with those around her. She was a kind-hearted individual.
In 2016 Marita and Robert established the Lisa Anne (Boggs) Fawley Memorial Scholarship at the Kosciusko County Community Foundation to honor the life of their late daughter.
Marita is survived by her son, Brett (Sarah) Boggs, of Akron; her grandchildren: Eve (Bill) Mock, of Wakarusa; Evan (Stephanie) Boggs, of Nappanee; Elyse Boggs, of South Bend; and Ian (Katherine) Fawley, of Ferndale, Wash.; and her great-grandchildren: Dillon, Aiden, Eden and Sam. She is also survived by her brother, Terry (Sandy) Tucker; and her son-in-law, Jay Fawley.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert S. Boggs; her parents, Dearl and Olive Smalley Tucker; her daughter, Lisa Fawley; and her sister, Marilyn Coleman.
Titus Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Warsaw, is entrusted with care of Marita. A private family service will be held at Palestine Bible Church on Monday, Feb. 24 at 10 a.m. with Pastor Thomas Craig officiating. Burial will follow in Palestine Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts should be considered to Palestine Cemetery (mailing address – 316 Saner Drive, Akron, IN 46910).
