Miss Boyls was a pioneer, helping to create new opportunities for women attorneys: she was the first woman to serve as a trial examiner, and when she received the presidential award in 1966, she was one of only six women trial examiners in the government (out of a total of 600).
Miss Boyls retired in 1974 but continued for many years to lead a very active life. She worked as a volunteer at the Lighthouse for the Blind in Washington, DC, providing legal advice and helping prepare income tax returns.
Following her retirement, she continued to reside in Washington, DC, but also bought a house near Woodville, where she spent much of her time, gardening and gathering wildflowers.
A talented painter, she turned her artistic energies to the creation of wildflower arrangements, which she donated for sale during the annual festivals in Washington, Va. She was a frequent visitor to the Sperryville flea market, searching for interesting containers for her wildflower arrangements.
For 25 years, she continued to divide her time between Washington, DC, and Rappahannock County.
