Beulah Rae, better known to her family and friends as "Boots" was a native of Hamilton County. She was born on September 5, 1920 to the late Bertis Monroe and Molly Irene Sumner Smith. When her children were middle school age she decided to join the public workforce. She worked at Johnson's Meat Market, Mike's IGA and later at Jasper Foodway before finally retiring. Boots was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was preceded in death by her husband Clyde Lashley in September of 2006. After finding it difficult to run a household by herself, she moved to the Jacksonville area to be closer to her daughters. She made new friends and did so enjoy being close to her girls but she always longed to be back home in Jasper. In December of 2014 she was able to make the transition back to Hamilton County and made her home at Suwannee Valley Nursing Center.
