Patricia Booton

Patricia Booton, 91, of Danville, VA. passed away on Oct. 31, 2025 after a full and inspiring life marked by adventure, resilience, humor, passion and a zest for living that touched all who knew her. Born on July 28, 1934 in Harrisonburg, VA. She is predeceased by her father, Earl Heatwole, mother Lydia Townsend, husband James D. Booton, son James W. Booton and two brothers. She’s survived by her daughter, Lisa Booton, three grandchildren, Douglas Booton, Jennifer Booton and Melanie Booton, four great grandchildren, Aliannah, Jaxon, Kassius and Kai, and two sisters. Pat and Jim were childhood sweethearts married January 16, 1952. They co-owned and operated P&J Electronics in Danville VA for many years and had a lengthy career as a real estate agent, with some wild stories to boot, even surviving a small plane crash with her young son in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Pat, who taught herself code and ran an online newsletter called Boots Tidbits for 10+ years during the early years of the internet which touched people all around the world, she was an infectious storyteller, complex puzzle-solver, avid bowler, absolutely loved people and truly never met a stranger. She was the staunch matriarch of her family and lovingly known as Mama Boots by friends and loved ones. Pat was a force, flirting with life until the end and rocking a pink streak in her hair for over a decade. A model and equestrian in her younger years, Pat remained active throughout her life. She traveled extensively, even trekking through the jungles of Costa Rica last year, and went indoor skydiving with four generations of Booton women just four weeks ago. The visitation will take place on Thursday, November 6 from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM at the Wrenn-Yeatts Westover Chapel. A memorial service will be held on Friday, November 7, 2025 at 2:30 PM at the Wrenn-Yeatts Westover Chapel. The family will receive friends at other times at the residence. In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation can be made to the wonderful crew at Brosville Fire & Rescue. Wrenn-Yeatts Funeral Homes, Westover Chapel is respectfully serving the Booton family.
