Covert, Venice, Florida, sister Esther Covert, Huntingdon, and stepgreat-grandchildren, Kia, Sara and Bella Allen and Emma, Nathan and Nevaeh Scott.
A large number of special nieces and nephews, grandnieces and nephews, great-grandnieces and nephews, great-great-grand nieces and nephews and great-great-great-grandnieces and nephews also survive.
In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by four sisters Myrtle Knepper, Amanda Plank, Dorothy Fields and Erma Ulsh, and four brothers, Clifford Covert, Wilbert Covert, E. Leroy Covert and Richard Covert.
During her lifetime, Mrs. Booher worked at L. Greif Bros. in Mount Union until her son was born. She later worked for the Tuscarora Intermediate Unit 11 as a self-contractor and as an aide. She spent many years as the primary caregiver of her husband.
She was a member of the First Church of the Nazarene, Orbisonia, where she served on the church board for many years, sang in the choir and was on the food committee as long as her health permitted.
Mrs. Booher loved her flowers and there was something blooming from the crocuses in the spring till the dahlias in the late fall.
She came from a family of bakers and each had their specialty. Everyone always asked for her potato salad, peanut delight and whoopie pies.
Mrs. Booher loved her family and friends and never ended a visit or phone all without saying "I love you."
She loved to watch Jeopardy. She always watched the Pittsburgh Pirates and grew to like the Pittsburgh Penguins games even though she did not know much about it and never could keep track of the puck.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Friday, May 13, at the Orbisonia Church of the Nazarene, 594 Meadow St., Rockhill, with the Rev. David Ford officiating. Interment will be at Jordan Cemetery, Orbisonia.
Friends may call at the church from 6-8 p.m. Thursday and one hour prior to the service Friday.
