In memory of Yvonne S. Boice

Yvonne S. Boice, valued member of the Palm Beach State Foundation Board, dear friend of the College, and respected pillar of the community. 

Yvonne was a member of the Foundation Board of Directors since 2004. More than ten years ago, Yvonne agreed to spearhead what would become Palm Beach State’s annual signature event on one condition: that PBSC’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) initiative would include the Arts. Since then, Yvonne and the College's STEAM event have become synonymous. Her creative vision and unique, stunning decor were STEAM staples each year, just as she was and always will be, not only for our community, but also in our hearts. 

The STEAM initiative provides scholarships for students, putting them on solid academic and professional paths. Yvonne was passionate about everything STEAM represents: education, the arts, and opportunities for the next generation. 

On behalf of her life's work and the College that will miss her dearly, we invite you to make a gift to STEAM in Yvonne's memory, helping to make a difference in countless lives and in our community, just as Yvonne did and will continue to do through a legacy of love, hope, and giving to others.

On behalf of President Ava L. Parker, J.D., and the entire College, our heartfelt condolences to Yvonne's husband, Al Zucaro, her daughter Lauren A. Boice, son-in-law Dr. Randall Knowles Smith, and her entire family, and all those who had the privilege to know her.
