Boogee was a quiet and highly intelligent woman, who was an avid student of history. She could recite, on command, the most intricate details of world history, but her passion was The Civil War. Her wit was quick and sharp, and no one ever had to wonder what was on her mind. She was a remarkable person. She was a physical therapist by profession, who attended Roanoke College and was a graduate of The Medical College of Virginia. She had a photographic memory, and her knowledge of anatomy was completely preserved years after her retirement.
She was the daughter of her beloved parents, Howard Lacy Armistead and Lena Reynolds Armistead. She is survived by two children, Drury Lacy Armistead, MD, and Elizabeth Harrington Smith, and her devoted brother, Howard Lacy Armistead Jr, MD. She leaves behind five grandchildren, Kenneth Armistead Fautt, Caylee Erin Rushing, Lacy Harrington Arthur, Veda Singh Armistead, and Asha Lacy Armistead. She also leaves three great-grand-children and her dear nephews and niece, Howard Lacy Armistead III, Ashby Gray Armistead, and Lacey Ann Armistead.
