Rony loved reading, cooking and sewing and made many of her own dresses. She and her husband, Bob, enjoyed camping and hiking in the Great Smokey Mountains and our many trips to those beautiful West Virginia mountains to visit family. Rony was a kind and gentle person and her family was very important to her. She especially enjoyed those Bolton family reunions in September in Brandywine and Christmastime when she would make those delicious Christmas feasts with family. Rony will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her and she has left us with a lifetime of memories.
