Lynda W. Booth

She was born on December 5, 1939 in Coshocton to the late George Jay Willits and Ionia Gertrude Michael Willits.

After graduating from Coshocton High School in 1957, she attended The Ohio State University. On October 28, 1961, she married the love of her life, Thomas LeRoy Booth, who preceded her in death on September 6, 2007. They were married for almost 46 years.

Susie was employed at General Electric in Coshocton as a Clerk, Secretary, Decorative Customer Service Representative, Industrial Customer Service Representative and Traffic Manager. She retired in 1995 after 34 years of service.

She will always be remembered as a loving, kind and compassionate daughter, wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, coworker and friend. She was the best mom ever and she was her children's favorite person in the whole world. She had such beautiful blue eyes and a heart warming smile. Her hugs were magical. Helping people made her feel good and listening to others was one of her special talents. She always made everybody feel loved and that they mattered. She was an exceptionally intelligent, encouraging, considerate, unselfish, humble and gentle woman.

Some of her favorite activities included spending time with her family, fishing, hunting, looking at the moon, listening to her family sing, watching deer, sipping from a cup of hot tea, cheering on the Buckeyes, loving pets and traveling, especially to upstate New York and Canada. Her granddaughters brought so much joy and happiness into her life. Susie was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star and she was a member of the Plastics Activities Club at GE.
