Obituary For Dr. Carolyn Boone Todd

Carolyn Jean Boone Todd, M.D., of Midlothian, transitioned to her heavenly rest in the comfort of her home on July 7, 2024. Carolyn was born on December 10,1953 to the late Ethel Boone Watkins. Shortly thereafter, Carolyn was adopted by her great-great aunt, the late Marie Coleman Moore.

Carolyn accepted Christ into her life at an early age. She joined the Morning Star Baptist Church, Windsor, Virginia, where she served dutifully as an usher. At the time of her passing she was a member of the First Baptist Church in Midlothian, Virginia.

Carolyn spent her childhood in Zuni, Virginia. She attended school during a time when integration was new to the Commonwealth. Despite that fact, she was known to be opinionated and vocal about her beliefs. She graduated from Windsor High School and was eager to follow her dream of attending college.

Carolyn received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology from Virginia State College (now University), Petersburg, Virginia. She went on to Medical College of Virginia (now Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine) to pursue her medical degree. During her medical studies at MCV, she developed a keen interest in sickle cell disease. She actively engaged with the community by visiting churches and public spaces to educate and provide care for individuals affected by the condition. Her outreach extended to public shopping centers, where she regularly conducted blood pressure and cholesterol screenings. Dr. Boone completed her pediatrics residency at Children’s National Medical Center in 1983 and subsequently joined the Public Health Service on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

In 1985, she established a solo pediatric practice in Richmond, Virginia, where she has since cared for thousands of children and multiple generations of families.

As a pioneer in primary care pediatrics, Dr. Boone was the first in Richmond to establish the Reach Out and Read Program. She and her husband created an inviting reading space in the waiting room, adorned with bright primary colors, to encourage children to read while waiting for their appointments. Recognizing the importance of education in managing chronic conditions, Dr. Boone initiated an asthma education program which provided video resources and organized educational sessions for parents. Additionally, she facilitated the scheduling of follow-up appointments with subspecialists before families left her office, alleviating the burden on parents. Dr. Boone made office visits fun for her patients. To make the time pass faster, she provided treats and at times wore costumes.

Dr. Boone continually updated her practice based on the latest medical advancements, methods and trends. Her unwavering dedication and innovative approaches made her a vital asset to the Richmond community and beyond. Known for her tireless work ethic, Dr. Boone's practice thrived due to her deep investment in the health and well-being of her patients and their families. As we celebrate the life of Dr. Carolyn Jean Boone, it is noted, that plans were in place for her to accept an award as The Pediatrician of The Year 2024 by the Pediatrics at the Beach Annual Conference this very weekend. This award highlights her lifetime achievements in medicine.

Dr. Carolyn Boone Todd was a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc for more than 50 years. She is recognized amongst her beloved sisterhood, as a “Golden Sister”. She served as one of the Charter Members of the Pi Rho Omega Chapter, Chesterfield, Virginia. She recently continued to be of service to all mankind as a general member.

She remained deeply involved in the lives, activities and health of her immediate family as well as many of her extended family. Carolyn and her husband, Melvin who she met in college, have been married more than 40 years. This union was blessed with a son, Melvin Jr. and daughter, Bridget. In 2021 she was blessed with her first grandchild Judith whom she adored greatly.

Carolyn was predeceased by her sisters, Hattie Wilson and Glenda Boone and brothers, William Henry Moore, Henry Moore Jr, Russell Moore, Simon Moore, Robert Moore and Percell Moore.

Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Melvin Todd, Sr.; son, Melvin Todd, Jr. (Jacqueline); daughter, Bridget Todd (Michael); granddaughter, Judith Marie; sisters, Joyce Moore, Gloria Moore, Ruth Moore, Odessa Moore, Diane Chapman (Kelvin), Bernadette Melton (Billy) and Kashawn Watkins; brothers, Sterling Watkins Jr, Keefe Watkins (Shelly) and Wayne Watkins (Barbara); aunt, Mary Virginia Boone; Goddaughters, Jessica Mason-Brown and Terry Alexandra Wright; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, one special cousin, Jacqueline Russell, other relatives and friends; Dedicated Office Director, Sharon Hunnicutt and her tireless office staff and beloved patients.

My sincere sympathy to your family. I was a co-worker of Melvin's for many years. The love and respect with which he spoke about his family was heart-warming. Please know that I wish you a peaceful time in the days and weeks ahead. Mary Oakley (Socha)

To Boone and Todd families, Saturday's Homegoing Celebration for Dr. Carolyn Boone Todd showed how truly she was aunique, loving, and fully committed lady! Our friendship started over 50 years ago at Virginia State University (formerly Va State College) during our Freshman year. This bond was further strengthened as Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. line sisters (Fall 1973). In addition, Dr. Boone's quest for knowledge,dedication, and total commitment was unwavering. Her strong advocacy for Education and always aiding where required were major characteristics of her life.

In her presence, one would experience significant love and compassion. I will miss our Homecoming activities with her (jovial attitude and always loving) – but very thankful God allowed me 3 joyous occasions to see her within the last year. God has called one of His servants home, your work is done. Submitted with love, your line Soror Vera (Wanette) Hayes

Dr. Boone literally saved my life. I was born with a valve heart defect. My mother is a nurse and heard my heart murmur as a child but my first pediatrician blew off my mother's concerns. Then My mother was at the hair salon and just happened to sit down next to Dr. Boone and they struck a conversation. My mother brought me to see Dr. Boon when I was about 1 year old. She instantly heard my heart murmur and refereed us to a pediatric cardiologist, where I was diagnosed with pulmonary stenosis. I had surgery to correct the valve and have been doing fine since, 33 years later. Dr. Boone was an excellent and truly caring doctor. May she rest in peace.

To the family of Dr. Carolyn Boone, please accept my sincere sympathy and caring prayers. Dr. Boone was my son's pediatrician. I will always remember her as a caring person with a big smile. Ann L. Sharpe

My deepest condolence and prayers to the Boone-Todd Family. My heart is so sad. It's hard to believe that my dear friend Dr. Boone has passed. I remember on one particular occasion, at the start of my shift, at St. Mary's Peds. Dr. Boone was on the unit making rounds on her patients. The residents were in the treatment room having a difficult time intubating a baby that was not Dr. Boone's patient. Dr. Boone heard all the commotion and, immediately stopped what she was doing went into the treatment room, she intubated the baby, started the I.V. and stabilized the baby, she saved that baby's life. I will always remember Dr. Boone for her kindness, beautiful smile, laughter, warm embrace and love for all. She was the BEST PEDIATRICIAN in Virginia. I will miss my dear friend. Rest in Paradise Dr. Carolyn Boone Todd.

She will be missed.. sending my condolences to the family and friends. My son only doctor of 21 years. 😇 From: D.W.Jr &(Mom) Lakeisha 🫶

Caring Loving Heart warming Patient Attentive are only some of the words I can express to describe Dr. Carolyn Boone Todd. The community that she served and loved on and cared for will GREATLY miss her.

Rest easy, cousin. Until we meet again.

Dr. Boone was a wonderful doctor and human being. We always thought of her as part of family who cared for, not only our children, but was a good friend and counselor. She will be sorely missed. Heaven just received another angel. The Edwards Family...Carlton, Carolyn, Brittani and Carlton Jr.

Condolences goes and out to the family and nurses we love y'all so much she was my all 9 of my kids doctors love my 😇❤️❤️❤️💙🥲🥲

Well, it's been a little over a week since I found out about your passing. I found out the next day after you left this world. My heart just dropped because I couldn't fathom the thought of you gone. It took me this long to get my thoughts together. Dr. Boone, you were more than both of my daughter's pediatrician for 21 years. You were the epitome of an example of a dedicated, hard-working, caring, nurturing, and highly intelligent Black woman. A Black woman who loved and respected her community. A community of people that looked like her but may not have had access to the greatest resources at hand. Dr. Carolyn Jean Boone was that Greatest Resource. Dr. Boone took care of her patients as if they were her own children. She not only cared about the little ones, but the whole family. Dr. Boone would always ask, "How are you doing ,mama"? in her sweet and mild tone voice. And she remembered something that you liked or had going on and she would ask about that too. Dr. Boone loved to talk. She was not only professional but personable. I met Dr. Boone in 2003 after my oldest daughter ear surgery. After having setbacks with a former doctor, the Lord led me to you, and I stayed. Dr. Carolyn Jean Boone👑, you were truly a God sent. I am adamant that God is pleased with your life as we know it. For the love that you gave those babies for almost 50 years is astonishing! May you now receive more white pearls that you love. I know that I've let you know repeatedly how much you meant to me and my girls. I loved the look on your face when me and the girls surprised you with a birthday gift many years ago. Always give people their flowers while they are living. Our birthdays are 5 days a part. We would always wish each other a happy birthday. My Sagittarius twin ♐️ I know that you ❤️ President Barack Obama & Luther Vandross. Last but not least, I had a dream about you on 7/12, and then that day, I saw a meter reading 121212. In the dream, you were very much alive, but not. You still let me know that you were good where you are! Dr. Carolyn Jean Boone December 10, 1953~July 7, 2024 Gone, but Never Forgotten Rest In Peace & Power Love Always, Beuleatha

Dr. Carolyn Boone Todd was my sister-in-law. Carolyn was loved by us all and she will be missed by this family. I will miss her smile and laughter and the wonderful Thanksgivings we shared as a family at their home. Know that we will all meet again, so we will dry our eyes and celebrate her homegoing with a smile! Marie Todd-Turner, Bill Turner, Marshall, Jade, Stella and Sabine Todd

To the family of Dr. Carolyn Boone. My deepest sincere sympathy to you all. I am a former patient of Dr. Elwood Boone. I heard about Carolyn's passing today on the 12:00 news on channel 6.

You made a difference in many lives and we all thank you. Love you. Until we meet again. Love the Wilson- Pendergrass family

What an amazing woman and physician! I have worked with Dr. Boone on and off for 30 years! She was always an advocate for her patients and never let them get away with not doing the right thing for their health! I always smiled when she was on the other side of the phone. My condolences to the family and all who will not have the advantage of her wisdom.

To God be the glory for a life that was so giving to others. Carolyn loved people and she was a such a gift to all who had the opportunity to meet and interact with her. I, along with others, have so many fond memories of Carolyn from elementary/high school to our time at VSU including the times we would meet during homecoming and, as well as, various other celebrations. I miss her, but I am thankful and grateful I have memories of her laugh, smile and memories of her sharing her medical knowledge and life experiences. She has a wonderful legacy through the people she helped and the world is a better place because of Dr. Carolyn Boone Todd. My sincere condolences to all of Carolyn's family members and may God bless you and give you what you need during this time. Soror Gloria Knight Harris

I first met Dr.Boone as a Freshman Biology major at Va State College(at that time).

She was surrounded by a small group of Biology majors as she easily explained what our Professor tried to make difficult.

She then organized the precursor to our study group.

Carolyn was one of my Big SiQsters when we pledged the same Sorority. She would invent projects for me to get me away from my line so that I could study.

Carolyn was teased for being from a place called Zuni.

Being a Humantarian, no doubt that she is now organizing a project to benefit the undeserved. Rest in Power. Edna Holmes Friend

Dr Boone became my pediatrician after the birth of my first born child ,Paris, in 1988 . I learned so much from this woman! Paris loved going to her visits. She convinced me to write my first of 5 gospel plays " you just gotta believe " based on a conversation I had with Paris in her office! After my 2nd child Unique was born , Dr Boone showed up at the hospital immediately! She told me that this one gonna be " something else" !!! She was right! She had so much wisdom and knowledge to share. She knew Paris would question everything in life when she was 2! Once again she was right! I loved her ! She was my hero! She was a blessing to both myself and my girls. I am forever thankful and she will be missed .

Dr Carolyn Boone was my doctor as a kid and as I got older I visited her office a few times just to say hello and she always remembered me no matter how old I got lol. She was the absolute best doctor I had growing up as a kid and she was so caring with such a sweet, kind, loving spirit, she genuinely loved her patients and she took great care of me and I truly appreciate her great service she provided as a doctor. RIP Dr.Boone you will be truly missed sweet lady!!!

Much love, Joniqua M

I offer my deepest sympathy to Dr. Boone Todd's family, friends, and her line sisters, who had the privilege of joining our sorority at the same time as she. I will cherish my memories of her and the times shared at VSU. As a Soror, she made us all proud as she pursued her career in the medical profession, but we always just called or referred to her by her first and last name. "Carolyn Boone", you will be missed! Dr. Connie Hill Galloway, AKA, AE Chapter, Spring'72

I could only Imagine How special of a person Dr. Boone was, She was my most recent physician and I wouldn't have dreamt of anyone else caring for me. Hope you rest in paradise and my condolences to the family. Rest In Eternal peace. Love, Tamara M.

My condolences to the family. Dr. Boone was an amazing pediatrician to all three of my children. My family absolutely loved and adored her. I remember one year my son was sick and Dr. Boone was on vacation. I had to take him to the recommended doctor working in her place for the week. As you can imagine, we had to go back when she returned as the diagnosis was incorrect. She knew the problem, prescribed the medication and we were out of there. Knowledgeable, full of wisdom, genuine and passionate is who she was. Her little patients were all her babies. Dr. Boone you will truly be missed by your patients, family, the Community and the Whitted Family!

Our sincere sympathy and prayers of comfort goes out to the Todd family at this difficult time. Larry, Stephanie Isaac & Family

I love youuuu ,you have been a true teacher , mentor and doctor all in one it was all smiles and "how your mama doing" everytime we had a visit I loved youuuuuu may you rest in peace 💕

Sending so much love to Dr. Boone's family. My heart is so sad. She was my pediatrician when I was a child and I then had all my kids go to her. She was always supportive told me how proud she was of me and was just a shoulder to cry on. I love her and will miss her so much. Love always Toi G, and the kids.

Sending my condolences to the family and friends of Dr.Carolyn Boone she was a amazing person who always in good spirits. When I use to take my three children for their appointment, Dr.Boone would ask me how everything going and I would tell Chris showing off in your waiting room and she go out there and said Mr Shelton if you don't stop stretching my chair when you get older it would be your leather sofa and I mean what I say,she always made sure before you left her office you had everything you needed and she all cared about the parents too.She will be miss by alot of people that was family.Thank you Dr.Boone for everything much love.Rip Our Angel Mrs Darlene Christian/ Mr. Joseph Christian

Dr Boone you will truly be missed. I consider you a friend and provide for my family. Thank you for 35 great years of services. The Pendergrass Family

I knew her as Carolyn. Her brother Will and I were good friends. Will and I met at a karaoke party and found out we live near one another and became best buds. He was like a big brother to me. That's when I met Dr Boone and the rest of the family and they treated me like family also. Carolyn was so sweet and humble and she will be missed and never forgotten. 🤗❤️🙏🏽

Prayers and condolences to the family! Dr. Boone was the best!!

D. Layne

To the Family of the late Dr. Carolyn J. Boone Tood,; we, The Williams Family wish to wholeheartedly express our heart felt condolences and sincerest deepest sympathies in the passing of your loved one. Dr. Boone was my granddaughter's doctor. Although we didn't know her as long as others, we established a awesome rapport. Every visit to her office was a great joy. She made you feel so welcome. Dr. Boone was a caring, helpful and loving individual. As a matter of fact, I just became a new grandmother on July 9th 2024. I was ask who would be her new pediatrician. I said Dr. Carolyn Boone. I had know idea she was now with the Lord. However, I was very saddened to see that she had transitioned home to be with the Lord. Therefore, I do remember God did say, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. She's resting peacefully. I'm asking God to comfort her family, bring peace, love and strength to each of them. Todd Family and Friends, remember Dr. Boone and every fond loving memory in your hearts and minds. You will always have her with you forever. God bless you all. Yours in Christ, Deacon Sheila Williams/Family

There are no words to express the heart felt sympathies and sadness my family and I feel. The great Dr Carolyn J Boone was the best and only doctor my girls and grandkids ever known. She was family and will greatly be missed. There will never be anyone who can fill her shoes. Heaven has gained a true Angel. Weeping may endure for a night but joy certainly comes in the morning in Christ Jesus. Thank you God for the 34 plus years I had to spend with her.. Lisa Cain, Erica, K'Mari, Harmony, MJ & Ms. Cain

Dr. Boone has been the BEST pediatrician to my two children and now my 4 grandchildren. She would diagnose them, send to specialists as needed, and made sure that any illness they experienced was quickly taken care of. She thought of everything to care for her patients and would advocate to ensure they received the best care. Just as everyone has stated, she was more than a doctor to the families in the Richmond area, she was a true caring friend to us all, never forgot names of her thousands of clients or their family members. She sincerely cared for all of her patients and families. Ms. Sharon, you were THE BEST OFFICE MANAGER, my heart and prayers goes out to you and her family during this difficult time, I can only imagine the hurt you all are experiencing for such an ANGEL we had the pleasure of knowing and sharing our lives with. REST DR. CAROLYN BOONE IN HEAVEN!!!! GOD HAS MOST DEFINITELY GAINED AN ANGEL!!! We will miss you dearly!!!!!! Karen, Keenan and Kimani Robinson.(Kiyah, Khai, Kamilah & Kaison)

This is heartbreaking my whole life you cared for me I use to book my younger siblings just to get your opinion at this big age lol I will miss you daily you are truly a blessing to everyone that you crossed paths with I love you Dr. Carolyn Boone !.

Words cannot express how u felt and feel about Dr. Boone! I cried my heart out when I aged out from seeing her. She was family to my family! After aging out, I would go to my sister appointments just to see her and talk to her because I didn't trust any other doctor! See would just smile and give advise! My daughter went to Dr. Boone because I knew her life was safe with her! To her family, I pray that GOD give you all peace! Know that she is loved by so many and that she did make a difference in so many life especially the children of Gilpin Court and Jackson Ward area! See will continue to live through so many!

There are not enough words to describe Dr Boone and her love for her patients. She was a beautiful soul. She will be missed. Freida Faye Jones

Rest Well Dr.Boone,you will be truly missed. The Holmes Family Nicole, Kierra, Tiffany and M6iracle

Dr. Boone has taken care of me and my family for years. Even my daughter. I remember coming in with my newborn. She couldn't believe I had a baby. But she still talked positive about me and spoke life to me. She cared about everyone! I'm really gonna miss seeing her smile when visiting.

It so hard to fathom death at any stage of life, our condolences to the family and friends of this beautiful soul. Dr. Carolyn Boone so graciously cared for my children when no one else would, she so loved all children, she will be missed tremendously so, may GOD rest her soul, and we know to be absent from this world is to be present with the Lord - Be blessed Yodorah, Angela and Joshua Dyer

Dr. Boone was the pediatrician for all of my mom's children, and the pediatrician for some of my mom's grandchildren as well. There are no words that can express the loss of losing such a prominent member of this community. My deepest condolences to the family and may she rest peacefully in Heaven.

MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE FAMILY AND STAFF AND PATIENTS THIS IS A TERRIBLE LOSS FOR OUR COMMUNITY EVERYONE HAS MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY WE LOVE YOU DOCTOR BOONE BUT GOD LOVED YOU MORE REST ON ENJOY HEAVEN

Dr. Boone has been a part of my family since 1992. She was the perfect doctor for both of my sons. Our last visit with her was 3 years ago when my youngest aged out. She was always caring and compassionate when it came to her patients. Dr. B you will truly be missed by our community.

My condolences to the family. Dr. Boone was an awesome woman & doctor to all. Even if you were an adult visiting with your child, she knew the answer to your symptom(s). I remember my mom took me to my appointment with Dr. Boone when I was younger and had been dealing with breathing issues & before you know Dr. Boone told my mom something's on her lungs...after all the so called test my mom actual doctor did...my mom took that information back to them & what do you know, Dr. Boone was right on it without any testing etc. being done by her. Her years of experience, knowledge and guidance was out of this world! Her light has shined all over the city of Richmond & now she will be a guardian angel to everyone she's ever came in contact with.

May she rest in peace.🕊️ Family, co-workers & friends may the Lord be your strength during this difficult time!! 🙏🏾 She'll truly be missed!!♥️

The Mason family extend the deepest of sympathy to all of Dr Boone's family, office staff and friends.

News of her transition was not just a shock but was more like a kick in the gut.

Dr Boone was a true champion for our children and families. She fought hard for her patients and I am certain she laid a blessing upon every child her hands touched.

What I will remember most is the sparkle in her eyes when she gave her "cheeky" smile. I will remember the memories she shared about her being a foster child and how she worked/ fought hard to become a Doctor. I will remember the pride she emitted when she mentioned her family. I will remember the sound of her voice when she said to me, "....his skin looks good Mama" during one of my Son's well child visits when he was a baby about 16 years ago. LOL... she always found something to celebrate. Such a joyful soul. She will be sorely missed.

We love you Dr Boone

Dear grieving family,

I pray that you find peace soon. I hope that you know how much Dr. Boone meant to the masses. She made you proud in all that she did. Dr. Boone was not just my pediatrician but my children's pediatrician as well. As she walked down grace street for lunch one day she saw my mother at the bus stop with three busy fussy children. She noticed a rash on my brother's finger and immediately DEMANDED that my mother bring us to see her. From that day on she was our "aunt" who just so happened to be our pediatrician. I was about 4 at the time. Now at 39 I just saw her last month. She remembered to ask me about my mom, my siblings, my children's schooling and my daughter's freshman year at college. When she walked into the room to examine my special needs child the first thing she said to me was " why is my baby so black??!! Oh no, we need to check his cortisol" and sure enough he is being treated for Cushings disease. He was to follow up next month. The fact that she just saw him (after not seeing him for well over a year) and immediately knew his complexion was off and something was wrong was just her way! She will forever be missed, loved, and respected! I pray for your family and all of the families grieving this tremendous loss. As all of Richmond suffers this loss with you.

The Boatwright Family is sorry for your loss. Dr. Boone was a great doctor she was in our lives for 36 years. My family loved her so much. She will be greatly missed. When my eldest was 5 years old and had taken ill while he and my mom was visiting someone at Henrico Doctors Hospital they rushed him to the ER and asked who is his physician they called Dr. Boone and before I knew it Dr. Boone had came to the ER to attend to him. That's when I knew she was something special. When I was in the office with my children she just made you feel welcome and special she loved to carry on a conversation with me and my children. When it was my youngest son last time visiting her because of his age he gave her a picture in a frame of me and my sons. I went to visit her 2 years ago she had that picture in her office. I'm going to miss her she was a Gem. The Boatwright Family will always love you.

I am heart broken to learn the passing of Dr. Carolyn Boone. My heart goes out her family and will keep them in my prayers. I have known Dr. Boone for 32 years . She was my daughter and my three sons pediatrician. She was not just a doctor to me she was an advocate for not just my kids but everyone kids. She also was my grandkids doctor. She showed me not to take no for answer especially when you have children with disabilities. Thank you Dr. . Boone for being the most kindest and caring person I know. You are going to be missed by many. You were truly the Best Pediatrician in the Richmond area. My family is going to miss you. I am grateful to have known you , and I am blessed to have had you in my corner. My kids and grandkids would not be where they are today if is not for you. It time for you to rest now. Katina Melms, The Brooks Brothers and Kiana we love you and we are going to miss you

Sending our prayers and condolences to the family of Dr. Boone. She was an amazing woman with a heart of gold and will truly be missed. God has another angel watching over all his children! Rita and Ke'Nijah!

My mother didn't play about me or my health. When we moved from Philly, my mother relied on recommendations to find me a "seasoned " pediatrician that was black with an amazing bedside manner. Multiple people suggested Dr. Carolyn J. Boone. I was 10 years old. Dr. Boone's office was always alive with children's crying, playing and parents chatting. Your appointment time was of no concern so you planned accordingly and packed breakfast, lunch and sometimes a snack. The wait was long. But once Sharon called you back and handled preliminaries you knew Dr. Boone soon come. She was going to ask about your entire family, treat you like family and always greet you with a smile. (And her laugh!) She KNEW her patients. By name. She had thousands. Today, I learned that the BEST to ever do it, went on to be with the LORD. She cared for me and my girls. She had the biggest heart and enough love for all of us. I'm praying for her children and her husband. There will never be another. Rest well Dr. Boone. Love, The Ross girls

My life is forever changed. Dr Boone has been a part of our lives for 20 years. She was a powerhouse of a woman! She is now an amazing community legend. Advocate. Educator. Pediatrician. Researcher. Friend. Mentor. Mom. Aunt. Wife.... she wore so many hats and wore them effortlessly. We are going to miss you so very much. Heaven gained an amazing woman. I thank you for all that you have done for our family and for me as a mom. Take your rest. Until we meet again....keep smiling down on us. With love, Narita, Ky'mani and Keyondre Snead

We extend our deepest sympathy and regrets to the children, husband, extended family, and friends of Dr. Carolyn J. Boone-Todd. Carolyn "is" the consummate professional.

With love and admiration, Soror and line sister (Alpha Kappa Alpha, Alpha Epsilon Chapter, VSU, Fall 1973, #10) Cheryl Keen Robinson, JD and family, Lynwood, Virginia (California) and Alex (Japan).

Sending prayers an condolences to the family. Dr.Boone was an amazing person she was my pediatrician an both of my children. She will be truly missed.Not just any pediatrician but she was my friend.

Dr Boone was one of the best doctors and diagnosticians that I ever worked for. She always showed so much compassion and love for her little patients. I remember if a baby was borne early in the morning and there were problems she would stay with that child until it was stable. She was awesome to her staff. My condolence and prayers to the family . Carolyn Crewe

Dr Boone & Family, you have my condolences, and you'll are in my prayers. Dr Boone was the BEST PEDIATRICIAN in the city. She cared for the kids and was very passionate with what she did. She was truly a blessing, phenomenal Queen and simply amazing. My kids and I will truly miss that contagious smile and beautiful soul. I'm very hurt and heartbroken, now who my kids going to go to?? Nobody could ever replace Dr Boone; she was one of a kind!! RIP Dr Boone Sincerely, Francheska Hunt

Heartfelt sympathy to the family in the passing of your love one, Dr. Carolyn Boone Todd. A loving, caring, genuine and purpose driven individual. She deposited so much of herself not only into her patients but parents as well; for the greater good.

Thank you Dr. Boone for being the physician of choice. You cared for all four of our children and you knew each of them on an individual basis. Thank you for sharing your gifts with so many. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."

You made our home team from Zuni very proud and showed many of us how to reach for more of what life had to offer!

Sending prayer and condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Boone. Dr. Boone was the BEST pediatrician any child could have. You will be TRULY missed. Thank you for all that you have done for my kids and others.

My heart is broken i learned of your passing yesterday morning you would do to have a telehealth meeting with my granddaughter Lailani But I have known you for 21 years because you took care of all three of my kids but what I really loved about you was that you never saw my wheelchair and went to bat for me more than once Just wanna let you know I will miss you. My kids will miss you, but I will see you then at a better time in a better place love always Angela jachaia briona Micah and Lailani PS to the family I would just love to express how much your mother and wife and friend meant to our patients.

My heart is hurting. Dr. Boone has been in my life for 31 years. She was the Pediatrician to all of my children. If it wasn't for her, my oldest daughter may not be here because she had pneumonia and was placed on the unit and not in the ICU and she came and raised the roof off the hospital and within minutes my daughter and I were on the ICU unit. Not only did she take care of my children, but she took care of me as their mom because she would council me with my own problems and she was my grandson Pediatrician. My children are heart broke and I don't know what we are going to do because my grandson was to see her soon. This has certainly put a whole in our hearts. To her family, I am so sorry for your loss. I love Dr. Boone as though she was my blood family but sometimes you have more love for those that aren't blood related. I'm going to miss her terribly. We just saw her last week on a Televisit with my grandson. She would say to me how you doing momma and my daughter Ms. Lady🥲 This hurts, it really hurts. But God said to be absent from the body is to be present with him and I know you are with him because you certainly was an Angel. Love you forever Dr. Boone ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dr Boone will be missed. She started a program at her office that provided books to the kids that came in for checkups. Rest in Peace.

There are no words to express how much this lady meant to me and my children. Not only was she their pediatrician. She was a mother, a mentor, a motivator, a loving persons she left behind her legacy in the medical field very knowledgeable. She left some big shoes to fill. She will be truly missed and loved.

Dr. Boone and Family - she was the BEST Pediatrician. She cared for all 5 of my children and I teased her saying she was multi-generational as she cared for my grandchildren too. She will be missed. We also worked together on Lead Poisoning Prevention and treatment issues, served together along with Senator Benjamin Lambert on the Senate Joint Subcommittee many years ago. It has been an honor to know her, work with her and witness her love for the many children and families she served. May the Ancestors welcome her with open arms. Blessings
