A lovely lady who will be missed.
Mrs. Bouton was a wonderful preschool teacher at United Methodist preschool, and we will miss her very much.
I have memories of a very lovely young lady in our high school years together. Her warm smile and gentle nature was evident then, as I am so sure it continued to be…
My deepest condolences to all of her family and loved ones.
