Squire Samuel "Sam" Boone, age 83, of Lumberton, NC passed away on Wednesday January 14 at his home surrounded by his loved ones. He was born on August 22, 1942 in Lumberton to the late James Oscar "JO" Boone and Allie Mae Bruce Boone. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his sisters; Martha Boone Prevatte, Bertha Boone Outen, Grace Boone, Ada Boone and a brother; Edsel Bruce Boone.

Sam will be greatly missed by many. He loved to spend time with his family and, before his health decline, working in his blueberry orchard. Although his health made it impossible to continue working on "the farm" many pretty days you could find him sitting on the front porch watching the cars drive by. Sam retired as a machinist from Mueller Steam after working for 30 years.

Sam is survived by his wife of nearly 63 years, Bonnie Watts Boone, his son; Samuel "Lyn" Boone, his daughter; Amy Boone Jacobs (Richard), his grandson; James "Brady" Jacobs, and his two big brothers; George Boone and James Daniel "JD" Boone and a host of nieces and nephews.
