Shirley Delores Williams (Boots) September 30 1928- August 7 2018. Boots passed away peacefully at the age of 89 at the LaCour House in New Roads, Louisiana. Boots enjoyed traveling the world, working crosswords, the LSU tigers and spending time with her family. Boots joined Fidelity bank at the age of 19. She took time off from the bank in 1948 for the birth of her two children. She returned to the bank in 1952 for 36 years until she retired in March 1988.
