BJ was a stay-at-home wife and mother for most of her life. She loved to cook and try new recipes but her specialties were mostly from recipes passed down from the family, including southern fried chicken and rice with milk gravy as well as all the Thanksgiving and Christmas regulars. BJ’s holiday treat specialties included homemade fudge, sausage balls, bourbon balls and cheese wafers. And for several years she cooked for all the kids at a day care center at a local church in Wilson, NC. She was very creative and loved crocheting, needlepoint, counted stitch, carving and drawing. Whenever a friend or relative was having a baby, she would crochet an afghan for them. She also enjoyed planting flowers and keeping the yard looking beautiful. Most of all she loved her family and liked nothing more than spending quiet time at home with them. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.
Surviving are one son, Sonny Boone; one daughter, Deby Wood; two granddaughters, Brianne Morris and Lydia Wood; nine great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Billy Boone, her parents, Charles C. and Nellie Lamm, her brother, Charles C. Lamm, Jr., and one granddaughter, Tiffany Morris.
