Dora Mary Booth

1937 - 2020

Dora Beaulleu Booth, 83, of Pelham, Massachusetts, passed away at Bay State Medical Center on December 13, 2020 following a yearlong encounter with declining health.

Dora was born on February 15, 1937. She grew up on a dairy farm on No. East Street in Amherst. As a result of this early association with animals, Dora developed a lifelong commitment to the care and wellbeing of all animals.....domestic and wild.

She attended Amherst Schools, after which she worked in the Food Service Departments at Hampshire College and the University of Massachusetts.

She married Cleon (Buzzy) Booth, a lifelong resident of Pelham, on July 3, 1956. They have resided in the historic farmhouse on Enfield Road, where Mr. Booth's parents once lived.

Dora attended the United Church of Pelham and was active in its mission. She was passionate about the game of BINGO and regularly attended local bingo gatherings with neighborhood friends. Over the years, she became the caretaker of the wildlife that frequented their property.....hungry or injured, she championed for their welfare.

She enjoyed the quiet summer vacations at their property on Lake Ebeemee in Brownsville, Maine, most especially with her daughter Doreen. The solitude of those retreats were treasured times for her.

Dora was a "key" person to the success of her husband's business.....Mountain Springs Pumps & Service. She was the "go to person" who set up appointments and alerted her husband to emergencies that needed immediate attention. Her caring manner was reassuring to all.

She is survived by her husband of 64 years...Cleon Booth, son David Booth of Turners Falls, dear family friend Janice Booth of Shutesbury, of Pelham, grandson Steven Booth of Pelham, brother Robert Beaulleu of Amherst and sister Lucille Guerrin of Easthampton.
