Elizabeth Burk Boothe

Elizabeth Burk Belcher Boothe was born Aug. 2, 1931, in Ashby, Alabama. She went home to Heaven on March 1, 2026, in Pea Ridge, Alabama. At that time, she heard Matthew 25:21, Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter Thou into the joy of the world. We rejoice for her.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Isaac Richmand Boothe Sr.; 2 grandchildren, April Lynn and Tracy Boothe, her parents RC and Dickey Belcher; 2 brothers, RC Belcher Jr. (Bud) and William Cody Belcher (Snooks); sister, Dorothy Howell; son-in-law, Gregory Stephens; and daughter-in-law, Tommie Mitchell Boothe.

Isaac Richmond Boothe Jr., Bobby Boothe (Cindy), Sandra Stephens, Frances Caudle ( Danny), Thomas Boothe, Amy Holsomback (Joey); the grandson she raised as her own child, Billy Boothe (Christy); her brother, Taylor Belcher; her sister, Sherry Belcher; and her beloved sister-in-law, Mary Evelyn Belcher; 25 grandchildren, 32 great grandchildren, 9 great great grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews.

She gave her life to Jesus at a very early age. Her dream was to be a preacher. She loved the Lord, church, and gospel singing. She was double promoted in elementary school and graduated at 15 as the salutatorian of her class. She also attended business college. She married at seventeen and became a mother within a year- she was married for 55 1/2 years.

She had many titles in her lifetime: Christian, daughter, sister, aunt, mother, Granny, prayer warrior, spiritual advisor, friend of God, personal homework tutor, keeper of secrets, provider and the list goes on and on. She was a Proverbs 31 woman. She was a wonderful mother. She believed in the power of prayer in the name of Jesus. No request was too small or too large, just put your trust in God-Her constant prayer was for her family to all be saved. She was human, she had flaws, but she was saved.

She enjoyed cooking, gardening, sewing, crocheting, reading, quilting, and laying out fence rows. She loved farm animals, birds and the beauty of God's Creation. She prayed the 23 rd Psalm every day. Her journey was long, sometimes hard, but always blessed. She survived a massive stroke for 31 months. Her body was tired and her spirit longed for Jesus and her mother. She is home now and at rest in the arms of God.

She loved Matthew 7:7 and the 14 th chapter of John. She read her Bible as long as she could and then others brought the Word to her, in person and on TV. Many thanks to her children that cares for her. Her pastor, Tommy Bass and his wife Cindy for the hundreds of visits and all the prayers from people that loved her. Special thanks to Home Health and Hospice and the caregivers they sent her way. We love you Lindsey, Amy, Andrea, Chip, And Paul, especially Matt who was with her at the very end. Billy and Christy Thank you for all those Sunday dinners.

Her latest words included " If I don't wake in the morning, I will meet in in glory."

"Life is to be lived, live it for Jesus."

" I'm going home in the morning."

"I want to see Jesus first then Mama."

" Pray about it. God hears you."

"Tell everybody I love them and prepare to make heaven your home."
