CARMEN BOOTH Obituary
Born May 26, 1911 in Spokane
Continuing on her journey, September 3, 2011
The century of Carmen's life on this Earth was focused on raising her family, exploring ancient cultures, civilizations and religions. Her passion was Greece and its history. Carmen was a free thinker and she encouraged open conversations about history, politics, and religion. Her home was decorated with treasures and art collected from her travels around the world.
Carmen was a child's delight, exposing her children and grandchildren to the world through music, poetry, art and most of all, interesting people. There was always a pot of soup, the smell of hot bread, music playing and the comfort of a smile. Her zest for life, quest for knowledge, compassion for those less fortunate, and her plans for the next party will be missed.
Carmen is survived by her adoring and devoted family, Children: Arden Ibatuan, Richland; Bill Booth, Bangkok, Thailand; Christine Grantham (Richard), Kennewick; Patrick Booth, Singapore. Grandchildren: Michael Carroll, Mark Ibatuan (Lynn), Eric Booth (Waan), Prisana Rangsit Booth (Will Klose), Tabitha Zinsli (Brian), Randy Grantham. Great-Grandchildren: Jennifer Lopez (Jorge), Wendy Dammarell (Ryan), Daniel Rogers, Karis Rogers, Aariann Ibatuan, Blair Zilch, Jaiya & Djanu Klose, Tyler Barton (Britnie), and Madison Zinsli. Great-Great-Grandchildren: Jamison Barrera, Oliver Zilch, Ava Zilch, and Lilah Barton.
Carmen is preceded in death by her parents, Louis & Cora Aschenfelder; husband, Clarence Booth; son-in-law Robert Ibatuan; grandchildren: Shannon Ibatuan, Dr. David Carroll; and great-grandson Benjamin Carroll, Esq.
A special thanks to Anna Voloshchuk at Grandridge Meadows Adult Family Home and De Viana for their outstanding care, love and compassion. The Booth Family would like to thank Carmen's many long-time friends for their many years of friendship.

It's always a pleasure to meet Mother, amazing how much energy she has at 90+. I recalled meeting her the 2nd time some 8 years ago, she refuses to sit down and always dancing and talking to people ! Her presence, love for life certainly affected me. We all should be honored to have know her, surely she is dearly missed by all of us. I'm certain that her spirits, energy & virtues will continue through us, who has the honor to have know her !!!!

I was barely acquainted with Carmen, but I do remember her jewelry and her creative dress style. She was a striking lady.
