Originally from Indianola, Mississippi she lived in Texas for a while where she met her first husband Emmett Hurt. Later, she spent many years in St Louis, Missouri where she worked for Ozark Airlines in the reception department. Later, her and her daughter, Glenda, moved to Hattiesburg after finding some brothers she had not known previously. She worked for Murray Envelope for many years as the secretary in the Print Shop before retiring. She raised many children as a babysitter and Sunday School teacher for 25 years as well. She liked nothing better than planting and caring for flowers. We called her the “Plant Whisperer” because she could take a burnt plant and revive it. Mawmaw is survived by her daughter, Glenda Jean (Danny) Boone. Two grandchildren, Joe Daniel (JD) Boone (Shannon) of Hattiesburg, Missouri. Thomas Joel (TJ) of Clinton, Utah and one great granddaughter, Chloe Gabryella Boone also of Clinton, Utah. along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.
