Barbara “Bootie” Hamilton Nicholas, 77, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family at Culpeper Medical Center on June 21, 2023. Bootie was born in Cheverly Maryland on April 24, 1946 to the late Robert D. and Alice C. Hamilt Read Obituary
I was trying to get in touch with cousin Bootie to tell her about our Aunt Anna Cox passing away on December 14 when I learned that she herself had passed away six months earlier. What a shock! Bootie grew up in the mountains and I grew up in the DC suburbs so we only saw each other when her family visited our grandparents once or twice a year. I did have a memorable week-long visit with her family in Mt. Sidney as a child and we stayed in touch through adulthood. As often happens, our busy lives interrupted. It was because of Aunt Anna that we saw each other again after many years. Mike and I send our sincere sympathy to Jack, their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren (Wow--13!), and to nieces and nephews. There are a few of us cousins left and I will try to let them know that a beautiful woman has changed her address to Heaven and that I'm sure she's looking for her loved ones to join her there someday.
So sorry to hear about this. You all are in our thoughts and prayers

Jack and family,
So sorry to hear about Bootie. She was a sweet lady and will be missed in the community. You and the family are in our prayers. 🙏
Bootie was my earliest friend -- from before elementary school to graduation from high school, I considered her my best friend. Our lives took different paths after that but we kept in touch through letters and later email. We last wrote at Christmas. I have an empty place in my heart.
May her light always shine through us.
Love Always and Forever
Jelly Bean ❤️
