Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Boothe was an outstanding teacher who always challenged her students and brought out the best in us. There was never a dull moment in her class. I feel sorry for those who never had her as a teacher. My sympathy to the Boothe-Halladay family.

Jay and Lulu Bugbee would like to pass along to James (co-worker and friend) and his family our deepest sympathies in the loss of your loved one. In reading Betty’s obituary she appears to have been a fine example of a human being and contributed greatly to those who loved and new her well. We hope our donation to the Palm Valley Animal center will serve the needs of the animals looking for the same care I believe she would have desired them to get. Sincerely Jay and Lulu and baby Crystal

What a life she had. Reading about her was so fascinating. To Mike and Ashley--I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mother/grandmother sounds like one terrific lady. I'm sorry I didn't get to know her. We will keep you in our prayers.

Mike, Becky, Paula, Trey,,,,,,,Betty was a remarkable and successful women and mother. Susan and I were always jealous that you had such a great Mom. Your proud memories of her abilities and achievements are justified. And your individual lives are a testament to her. I am so sorry for your loss. God bless and comfort you.

I remember Mrs. Booth as one of the teacher you think of when you look back at your high school days. She sure was a tough cookie and we loved her for it.

Class of 1980

Sorry for your loss. She was a unique person.

Our deepest condolences to the Boothe-Halladay family. I had opportunity to work with Betty in Edinburg High. She was always a pleasure to talk to and had wonderful relationship with her students. She will be greatly missed.

Betty Booth was certainly an educator before her time. She was a motivator and an innovator who left her mark on all those whose lives she touched. As a teacher at Edinburg High School, I remember Mrs. Booth's way of speaking her mind without offending anyone, a trait I definitely admired in her. And, yes, I remember when she resigned to join the State Department and thinking, "Wow, this woman is following her dreams!"
My condolences to her family.

Mrs. Boothe was an excellent educator. I remember those mock trials at Edinburg High of which I participated in as a muderous defendant. May she rest in peace and may God keep her family strong.
