Helen Marie Booher

Helen earned a bachelor's degree in Education from Northern Arizona University and was active in Arizona Alpha Delta Kappa. She taught so many bright and talented middle school students throughout her career and fondly spoke of her teaching experiences years after retirement. Helen married the love of her life, Isaac Edmond Booher in 1958. They worked hard, cherished their family and traveled around the world and most of all enjoyed their lives together with every breath.

She was known by so many loving nicknames, "Honey" to her beloved husband, "Mother" to Dana, Aunt Helen to her nieces, "Inca" to her Wilcox nephews and familys and "GG" to her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Helen was a dynamic lady for her family and will be missed dearly by all.
