In Memory of
Betty Rae Boulware
November 21, 1928 - November 30, 2014
Obituary
Betty Rae Miller Boulware was married to the late Dr. Thomas M. Boulware Jr. of Vestavia Hills, Al. Betty spent her childhood in Sylacauga, and Pensacola. She attended Vanderbilt University after high school. She graduated as a Registered Nurse from the Carraway Methodist Hospital School of Nursing in March of 1951 where she worked until stepping away to raise her children. She was an avid amateur Golfer, winning multiple amateur Golf Tournaments in the Birmingham Area, as well as tournaments in surrounding states. She loved the outdoors, mainly fishing and boating, and also caring for her dogs and cats. She was devoted to her two grand-daughters, often found in the kitchen cooking with them, or working on craft/sewing projects together-the epitome of their "Gammy". She was embraced with Love from the First Church of the Nazarene in Vestavia Hills after losing her daughter, Molly, in 1981, and 15 years later moved her membership to Christ Church United Methodist in Shelby County to be closer to her family members attending there. Christ Church showed the same love for Betty, where she made numerous new friendships..devoted friends who would often visit her after she moved into an assisted living facility. Her spiritual gift appeared to be "Service to Others" as she was quick to help out in any way she could to anyone in need. Mrs. Boulware was preceded in death by her Parents,William Ernest Miller and Mary Edna Jones Miller of Birmingham, AL, and sister Dorothy Marie Whitmore (Howard) of Louisville, Ky. Mrs. Boulware is survived by her son, Walter Mark Boulware (Leisha) of Pelham, Al and preceded in death by her daughter, Molly Rae Boulware of Vestavia Hills, Al. Survived by her step-daughter, ZoAnn Zobel (Jimmy) of Clayton, Ga., and step-sons Thomas M. Boulware III (Mary Gene) and Ashby Nickell Boulware (Francislee), both of Mtn. Brook, Al. She is also survived by her brother William ("Bill") Ernest Miller (Dolores) of Ashford, Al and her sister Sue Ellen Joyner Hinote (Paul) of Navarre, Fl. Betty is survived by her granddaughters, Lindsey Rae Boulware Hewlett (Shaffer) of Hoover, Al., and Mallory Lauren Boulware of Pelham, Al., as well as great grand-daughter, Avery Rae Hewlett, and her nephews and nieces that include Michael Whitmore of Louisville, Ky, William E. Miller Jr (Maggie) of Jacksonville, Fl, Nancy Hein (Vernon) of Dothan, Al., Wade Miller (Ruby) of Dothan, Al., Ben Miller (Terri) of Dothan, Al., and Travis Hinote of Pace, Fl.She is preceded in death by her nephew Timothy Whitmore of Louisville, Ky Visitation for Mrs. Boulware will be Friday, Dec. 5,2014 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM at Christ Church United Methodist Church, the memorial service will follow at 2:00 PM at Christ Church. In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to celebrate Betty's life by making honorary donations to the Music Ministry Department or the Children's Ministry Department at Christ Church United Methodist. The Boulware Family would like to thank the staff at South Haven Nursing and Rehab for the love and personal care they extended to Betty the last three years.
