Boots passed away peacefully on October 8th, 2023 at the age of 90. She was born May 30, 1933 in Charlottesville, Virginia. She graduated high school in Richmond, Virginia and soon after graduation moved to Dayton, Ohio where she met and married her husband of 70 years. Charles was in the U.S. Army and they traveled to many parts of the United States as well as 3 years in Germany. After retirement, they continued to travel in their motor home before buying their first house together in 1987. (Boots would often say that she wasn’t born in Texas but got here as fast as she could). However, their traveling days weren’t over as they left their motor home in Las Vegas and spent 6 months out of the year for about 20 years there.
Boots is survived by her husband Charles, 2 children, David (Shelley) and Cheryl (Frank), 3 grandchildren Maria, Chad (Kimberly) and Sarah (Sean). She also has 8 great grandkids.
