Marcia Pochette and Jenice Woods Obituary: Celebrating the Lives of a Mother and Daughter Who Tragically Lost Their Lives in a Car Accident in Boynton Beach.
Marcia Pochette and her daughter, Jenice Woods, have tragically passed away in a car accident that occurred in Boynton Beach on Tuesday evening. The accident, which involved a high-speed collision, resulted in the deaths of both Woods and Pochette, leaving their family and community in shock.
According to the Boynton Beach police, the accident occurred at approximately 8 p.m. when a vehicle driven by 23-year-old Neoni Copeland struck the car occupied by Woods and Pochette. Copeland fled the scene but was apprehended shortly thereafter and charged with leaving the scene of an accident. Further charges may be forthcoming as the investigation progresses.
The circumstances surrounding the accident are currently under investigation by the West Palm Beach police, who have commenced an Internal Affairs investigation. Sources have revealed that Copeland had evaded the West Palm Beach Police Department shortly before the accident, and a pursuit ensued, involving three units from the West Palm Beach police. The pursuit continued for several miles, beyond the city limits of West Palm Beach, until the moment of the crash.
A witness reported seeing a police vehicle at the crash site, and video evidence from Congress Avenue and Lantana Road confirms that there was an active pursuit. However, the Boynton Beach police have clarified that none of their units were in pursuit of Copeland at the time of the crash.
The officers involved in the pursuit have been placed on administrative leave while awaiting the results of the Boynton Beach Police Department’s investigation into the accident. The community is still trying to come to terms with the loss of Woods and Pochette, and their family and friends are requesting privacy during this difficult time.
Marcia Pochette and Jenice Woods will be deeply missed by all who knew them. Their lives were marked by love, kindness, and a deep commitment to their family and community. As we mourn their passing, we take comfort in the memories of their lives and the impact they had on those around them.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to a charity that was close to Woods and Pochette’s hearts. This will help to continue their legacy and support a cause that they were passionate about.
As the investigation continues, the community is left to grapple with the circumstances surrounding the accident and the pursuit that preceded it. The West Palm Beach police have assured the public that updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
In the meantime, we remember Marcia Pochette and Jenice Woods, two lives that were tragically cut short in a senseless accident. Their memories will live on in the hearts of all who knew them, and their legacy will continue to inspire and motivate others.
Rest in peace, Marcia Pochette and Jenice Woods. Your lives will never be forgotten.
