Mildred Jamison Boitnott
Mildred Jamison Boitnott went to be with her Lord and Savior on May 6, 2025. Born on April 18,1924 to Elbert and Minnie Flora Barnhart in Roanoke Va., Mom moved to Franklin County when she was around 8 years old. She married Goggin Jamison in 1942 and together they raised 7 children. The two of them were in the dairy business during their time together. Goggin passed away in 1977. Mildred with the help of her family, friends, and neighbors was able to continue her life and finish raising her children. This was a debt she felt she could never repay and as such their kids became her kids, their families became her family and she loved them all. In her earlier years Mom was active in Highland UMC, the garden club, her childrens’ schools and loved to play Bridge and Rook. Ice cream was always her favorite dessert and she could put away her share as well as your share if you didn't eat it. Mom loved to travel and did so extensively as long as she was able. She had the pleasure of traveling to a majority of the United States including Hawaii, and a number of foreign countries. Mom married Spurgeon Boitnott in February of 1996 in the midst of a snowstorm. Despite the inclement weather to start their union, they were able to spend 15 wonderful years together before Spud’s death. Mildred was predeceased in death by her parents, her husband's, Goggin and Spurgeon; son Jerry Jamison; son-in-law Bill Hicks; daughter-in-law Diane Jamison; siblings Lois and Earson Huffman, Fred and Lois Barnhart, Ruth and Bennie Flora, and Carl Barnhart; in laws Anita and Tom Crowson, Clark and Marie Jamison, Ruby and Galen Brubaker.
Left to cherish her memory are her children Phyllis Hicks, Peggy (Doug) Nunn, Glen (Mary) Jamison, Danny (Terri) Jamison, Terry (Cindy) Jamison, Alan (Gayle) Jamison; step children Tom (Pandy) Boitnott, Linda Downing; grandchildren, Jennifer Butler, John Hicks, Judah (Paola) Jamison, Jeffrey (Cindy) Jamison, Michael (Stephanie) Nunn, Kevin (Amy) Nunn, Jessica (Tyler) Flora, Adam, Amy, Hannah, Sarah, and Jared Jamison, and John Boitnott; great grandchildren Lauren and Claire Butler, Teagan Hicks, Aubry, Ivy, Jade, Aidan, Jeffrey and Jerry Jamison; Chris, Stephen, Caitlynn, Cora, Mackenzie and Emilee Nunn; Marleigh, Ellie, and Andrew Flora; brother Arthur (Barbara) Barnhart; sister in law Mary Sue Barnhart and numerous nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Highland UMC, P.O. Box 34, Callaway, VA 24067.

We are confident I say and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 2nd Corinthians 5:8
