Full of sass, sarcasm, humor, and truth, Mamaw Boots was always working for the Lord. No matter where she went, she was eager to talk about God's greatness and the miracles she's witnessed. Whether it was while smuggling bibles into China, ministering in Thailand, in a restaurant, or cooking in her kitchen, the smile on her face let you know his faithfulness and love were the "real deal." You would always leave her house with a full stomach and to-go bag because she always had a hot meal for friends, family, and even strangers. Her family was everything to her and she loved to fill up her backyard and creekbank with laughter and love! She adored and praised all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Boots worked as a waitress serving others for many years. She was an involved member of Open Door Apostolic Church in Charleston, WV.
