“Libby” Boatwright, 77, passed away on Sunday, September 7, 2025, in the Intensive Care Unit at Atrium Health Main in Charlotte, NC. She was born in Rock Hill, SC, a daughter of the late Lonnie V. “Bud” Boyd and Elizabeth “Betty” Canon Boyd.

Beyond her career, she was a proud and dedicated member of the Pineville Fire and Rescue Squad and served on the Town of Pineville Council for many years. Pineville was her heart, and she deeply loved everyone and everything about the community she called home. Everyone knew Libby — or knew of her. Some lovingly knew her by the name “Deeda.” She lived to serve others, and nothing brought her more joy than caring for people and being part of so many lives.
