Boots was an avid Cincinnati Reds Baseball and Ohio State Football Fan. Her most prized possessions were her children and grandchildren. She loved cooking for anyone who would come to visit. She took extreme pride in her home and her love of flowers. In her later years she would make her way outside with you and point out all of her flowers and comment on how beautiful they were. She will be greatly missed by anyone who knew her and especially by her family.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to any Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes or Leukemia Foundation.
