She is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 61 years, Duane "Buster" Davidson, whom she married on January 31, 1953. Boots and Buster had many travels and adventures, and those memories were cherished and shared by Boots after Buster's death in 2014. Boots and Buster traveled a lot throughout their lives, making it to most of the states, but their favorite trips were to Las Vegas and they would share many stories about the fun and success they had there.

Boots worked at the Buckeye and the NCR before working at Corning, a job she truly loved because of the many friends she made. After retirement, she spent a lot of time volunteering at East School where she was known as "Grandma Boots" to many students and staff. She was also well known for her presence in her daughter's flower shops over the years. Boots was a long time member of St Mary's Catholic Church in Greenville.

Boots will always be remembered for her sweet personality, generosity, kindness and willingness to help anyone she could. She had many dear friends whom she enjoyed spending time with over the years.
