SHEPPARD, DANA MARIE BOOTHE, age 56, of Claytor Lake and formerly of Christiansburg passed away peacefully at her home on Tuesday, November 21, 2006.
She was preceded in death by her father, Ernest Drape Boothe, her brother, Ernie Dwayne Booth and her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Harmon W. & Celestia G. Sheppard.
She will be remembered for her unselfish nature and always putting others before herself.

With a pioneering spirit she fought the odds in the male dominated industry of collections and eventually founded many organizations that promote the success of small and Woman Owned businesses.
