Micci A. Boyce, OTR/L, CHT, passed peacefully on Friday, January 20, 2023, surrounded by her family and dear friends, after courageously traveling a long road with primary peritoneal cancer. She was born Monday, June 7, 1965 in Carlsbad, NM, but grew up in Albuquerque, NM, and graduated from Eldorado High School in 1983.
