She avidly collected lighthouses and found peace in watching the flight of butterflies. She could be found reading Christian based novels while drinking Diet 7 UP and enjoying Fritos. Earlene’s kindness and love for her family came directly from the direction of her bible, which she read daily.
She is survived by son Rick Boone and wife Donna of Denison; daughters Sandra Perdue and husband Bobby of Lancaster, Texas, Tammy Ford and husband Tony of Lancaster, Texas; sister Pat Smith of St. Joseph, Missouri; 12 grandchildren; 28 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
