Kathi Thompson Booth's Obituary
Kathi Thompson Booth of Georgetown, Delaware died in Beebe Medical Center on Saturday, December 16th, 2006, surrounded by her loving family and many friends following a long battle with cancer.
Kathi was born on August 17th, 1954, in Lewes, Delaware, daughter of Joan Thompson and the late "Buck" Thompson.
Upon graduating from Penncrest High School in Media, Pennsylvania, she attended Wesley College in Dover, Delaware. After moving back to Lewes in 1972, she worked at Beebe Hospital in the laboratory and for the Blood Bank of Delaware.
Following her marriage to the late Al Booth of Georgetown, she was a member of the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, an active member of Sussex Central Football Boosters and a past member of Sussex Pines Country Club.
Kathi was an avid sports enthusiast and a loyal booster for any and all activities in which her children participated. She loved spending hours on the beach at Broadkill and Cape Henlopen State Park and especially Lewes. Family and friends will remember her for her love of celebrating all special occasions with a party and decorating her home for each event. In later years, her many challenges were met with the same wonderful sense of humor that was the fun and life of any gathering.
She is survived by her five children: William "Buck" Booth and his fiancee, Lara Syby, Meg Booth Lawson and her husband Cliff, Joan "Allisa" Booth, Mark Booth and Spencer Booth. She is also survived by her mother, Joan Thompson of Rehoboth Beach, her sister and brother-in-law, Shelly and Fred Sposato of Milton and a large extended family.
