Why: For making and donating thousands of quilts. Boager has crocheted and donated about 3,000 lap and leg warming quilts for veterans in wheelchairs as well as cancer patients. “She is our personal friend and we have watched this incredible generosity and kindness up close for a number of years now,” wrote Boucher in her nomination letter. “We think she should be recognized for her selflessness.”
