Ebony Kimyatta Boles, born on July 1, 1971, in Wilmington, NC, entered eternal rest on December 12, 2025.  Birdy, as she was affectionately known, was educated in the New Hanover County School System, graduating from New Hanover High School in the Class of 1989.  She later attended Cape Fear Community College where she earned her associate's degree in culinary arts.  She was previously employed with McDonalds of Leland, NC, where she found joy in connecting with people and cooking for her family, she never met a stranger.  Birdy was a people person, always willing to help anyone in need.  Birdy was a very friendly person who developed a lot of relationships.  She rarely went anywhere that someone did not know her.
