Obituary for Dorothy "Bea" Booth
Dorothy “Bea” Tucker Booth of 20218 Boydton Plank Rd, McKenney, Va answered God’s call for eternal peace and rest on December 12, 2018. A native of McKenney, she was born to the late James and Irene Tucker on September 4, 1926. She confessed Christ at an early age and joined First Baptist Church where she served faithfully for over 60 years. Her years of devoted service included Missionary Circle, Sunday School, Pastor’s Aid, Senior’s Ministry, Senior Choir and the Usher Board. Out of her love and dedication for First Baptist she was a dedicated and faithful member until God called her home. She was a graduate of Dinwiddie Training School class of 1945 and a retiree of the Dinwiddie County School System where she worked for many years alongside her dear friends Alice “Mickey” Smith and Sarah King. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Junius Earl Booth, sister Hazel Walker, brother James L. Tucker and niece Priscilla “Lois” Moses. She leaves to cherish her memory two sons Freddie Gilchrist (Marian) and Nikita Booth (Zebra) both of McKenney, VA; three grandchildren Frederick Gilchrist, Sharnika Booth both of McKenney, VA and Natasha Byrd (Marcus) of Chesterfield, VA; four great-grandchildren Elijah Gilchrist of Springfield, Massachusetts, Zion Booth of McKenney, VA, Marcus and Marloe Byrd of Chesterfield, VA; three nieces Mary Blowe and Jeanette Rumble of Newport News, VA and Deleatha Ann Cofield of Hampton, VA; and a host of great nieces, nephews, cousins and other relatives and dear friends too numerous to mention. “Don’t cry over me, I am gone to be with my Father”. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday December 19, 2018 at 11AM at First Baptist Church, McKenney. The Pastor Rev. Alvin J. Gurley will officiate. Burial will be in the First Baptist Memorial Gardens. Viewing will be on December 18, 2018 from 12PM to 8PM at the funeral home and at the church from 10AM to 11AM.
