Ann Stanley Boan

Ann Stanley Boan, 78, of Lexington, SC passed away peacefully Wednesday, January 31, 2024. Born October 20, 1945, in Belvedere, SC. Ann was the eldest daughter of the late Paul and Frances Stanley, and lovingly raised by the late Jesse and Jackie Peebles.

She is survived by her adoring husband of 56 years, Richard Thomas Boan, Jr., son Brian (daughter-in-law Stacie), daughter Andrea, and three granddaughters Reece, Emerson, and Asher. She is also survived by her sisters Barbara, Lenora, Shirley, and Debra, and brothers Paul Jr. and Robert. In addition to her parents, Ann was preceded in death by her sister Becky and brother Jerry.

Ann graduated from North Augusta High School in 1963 and received a BS in Medical Technology from the Medical College of Georgia in 1967. She retired from Palmetto Baptist Medical Center in 2001 after serving 31 years as a Laboratory Supervisor. Her desire to continue working in healthcare led to patient care positions with Columbia Neurological Associates and Moore Orthopaedic Clinic until she officially retired in 2008.

Ann was a member of West Side Baptist Church in West Columbia where she served on numerous committees and enjoyed singing in the choir and studying God’s word.

She was a wonderful wife and mother who was always there when we needed her. She adored being MiMi to her three beautiful granddaughters and spending precious time with her sisters. She was well-loved by her many friends whom she thought of as “family”. She touched so many people's lives with her loving spirit, outgoing nature, and kind words. Ann also enjoyed volunteering with the Palmetto Women’s Club.

Visitation with the family will be held on Sunday, February 4, 2024 at 2 p.m. followed by a memorial service at 3 p.m., all at West Side Baptist Church, 2100 Platt Springs Road, West Columbia, SC 29169.
