Richard Booth Obituary

Richard J. Booth, a loving husband, father and devoted family man, passed away peacefully on September 4, 2025, at the age of 86.

Born in Pawnee City, Nebraska, to Ronald and Anita (Klostermeier) Booth, Richard lived a life dedicated to faith, family, and hard work. He will be remembered for his unwavering love for his children and grandchildren, his steady guidance, and the countless memories he created with those who were fortunate to know him.

Richard is survived by his wife, Mary Booth of Surprise, AZ and four children and their spouses: Michael J. and Susan of Omaha, NE; Steven L. and Michelle of Austin, TX; Robert F. and Gwen of Annapolis, MD; and Patricia L. and Tim Wooden of Omaha, NE. He was a proud grandfather to 15 grandchildren and a great-grandfather to 5 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought immense joy to his life. He was preceded in his journey home to God by his parents, Ronald and Anita, and his cherished granddaughter, Ashley Wooden.

Richard dedicated his career to caring for others, serving as President/CEO of Midwest Geriatrics and the Florence Home, where his leadership and compassion positively impacted countless lives. Richard's legacy will live on through the love and laughter that he shared with his family and friends. His memory will be cherished by all who knew him.

Services will be held on November 15, 2025 at 10 a.m. in Omaha, Nebraska (heafyheafey.com) and in Lake Havasu, AZ on October 17, 2025 at 1 p.m. (lietz-frazefuneralhome.com).
