Pinkterton (companion Tom Rochford) of Jacksonville, Fla.; daughter, Kristine D. (Michael) Boon; grandchildren, Brittany and Brandon (Brittany) Boon (who affectionately knew her as their beloved "Grandma Hoo! Hoo!"); and new great-grandson, Bradley Boon. Also surviving are brother, Dr. Richard (Erlys) McCoy of Spokane, Wash.; eight nieces and nephews, and a myriad of great nieces and great nephews.
