She later lived in Atlanta, GA, and Birmingham, AL, where she worked at Metro Cat Clinic in adoptions. After moving to Mount Pleasant, she worked at PetSmart until her retirement.

A private family burial will be held at a later date.

Sissy and Family, We are shocked and saddened to hear of the loss of your beloved sister, Boots. She was Rich's classmate at AHS and my first friend in Aiken and we remained in touch ever since. Our children, Kirstie and Nicholas, have fond memories of (godmother) Aunt Boots and loved her visits. May her sense of humor and laugh stay with us all.
