I am so saddened to hear of Mrs.Boettcher’s passing. She influenced me throughout my life: as an algebra teacher in 8th grade, a friend’s mom, band mom, and as a technology teacher and support person when I became a teacher. She will truly be missed and always respected. Elizabeth, Todd, and Mr. Boettcher you will remain in my prayers.
Some of my fondest girl scout memories are the years that I spent with Mrs. Boettcher as my scout leader. She was a lovely person and I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. She touched many young lives in such a positive and caring way and will be missed.
Cliff, Our prayers and thoughts are with You and Your Family at this diffcult time.
Lucille Boettcher was the heart and soul of computer technology at Buncombe County schools for many years. She spent countless hours helping teachers integrate computer instruction into the classroom. Through her patience and guidance, many teachers received a strong foundation in computer technology which they passed on to their students. She will forever hold a place of importance in Buncombe County Schools. I truly am grateful to have been able to work with Lucille Boettcher. My sympathy goes out to her family.
Cliff: I’m so sorry to to read of your wife passing. I extended my deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Cliff and family: So many thoughts and memories. We introduced you to Lucille when she was at Downer – spent fun times with you both before U moved to NC. She has made a mark that we and many others will not forget— now you and your family must move on. I hope to see you more often and will call you today. Our best to all of you. James Davis Laurel, MD.
