Rickelle (Ricky) Eileen Boyless, age 78, passed away peacefully on January 23, 2026, surrounded by love. Ricky was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend whose life was marked by selflessness, kindness, and an unwavering willingness to help others. She had a gentle heart, a warm presence, and a rare gift for making everyone around her feel welcomed, cared for, and at home.
She was the beloved wife of Bert Boyless, with whom she shared a lifetime of love, family, and cherished memories. Ricky was a proud and loving mother to Richard Jarasun, Rhonda Jarasun, Shana (Dickey) Amolsch, and Bert (Meghan) Boyless Jr. One of Ricky’s greatest joys was being “Grams/Munga Mia” to her ten grandchildren: Brett, Riley, Austin, Averie, Jaida, Bianca, Marcus, Milo, Deacon, and Brooke, whom she adored beyond measure. She is also survived by her siblings, Larry Eickhoff, Maxine Eickhoff, Charles Eickhoff, and Ralph Eickhoff, as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Kurt M. Eickhoff and Wilma Harkness, and her siblings, Kurt E. Eickhoff, Edward Eickhoff, and Carolyn Pates.
Ricky found her greatest happiness in time spent with her family, especially at their place up north and while cheering on her grandchildren at their sporting events. She enjoyed gardening and was well known for her incredible cooking, which she loved sharing with family and friends. She will be remembered for her generous spirit, warm and giving heart, deep love for her family, and the quiet strength she showed every day.
Ricky leaves behind a lasting legacy of compassion, devotion, and unconditional love that will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
