Family was truly the heart of Boots' life. She especially adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who lovingly called her "Mommom Bootie." She passed down her love of crochet and quilting, skills lovingly taught to her by her mother and created countless handmade treasures for her family over the years. Many joyful hours were spent around a quilting frame with her mother and sisters, sewing and sharing stories.
She and her husband cherished traveling, often accompanied by their grandchildren on memorable annual trips to Florida. Together with her siblings and in-laws, she enjoyed adventurous travels to West Virginia, Vermont, Hawaii, Myrtle Beach, Tennessee, and Florida, always with laughter and love at the center.
Boots is survived by her loving children, Cheryl Corbin (Allen) and Coy "Buzzy" Brown, Jr. (Beth); grandchildren Matt Corbin (Amber), Katie Wiles, Devynn Brown, Vincent Volinski, Russell Volinski, Raymond Volinski, and Amber Williams; and great-grandchildren Autumn Corbin, Alice Gardner, Charlie Corbin, Eva Oals, Makayla Williams, Jaxon Williams, and Kanan Volinski. She is also survived by her sister, Patty Kohler; brothers John Cunningham and Joe Cunningham; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
