Obituary for Christine Z. Booth 1916 - 2005
Our dear sweet mother, Christine Zimmerly Booth, died on January 12 at age 88 at Garden Terrace Alzheimer's Center.
Mourning her are her three children - Madeleine Booth Behle of Tiburon, California (Dr. Hugh Cox), Linda B. Schweikardt, and Edson E. Booth (Johnnye). Her grandchildren and great grandchildren have lost their loving "Goggy Chris." They are Peter A. Behle (Shia), Elisabeth Behle Bertero (Tom), Adam H. Behle (Tina) and Eric "Tiller" Schweikardt. Her four great grandchildren are Sarah Nicole Bertero, Colin Booth Bertero, Sophia Elisabeth Bertero, and Alex Kapos Behle. Christine's sister Agnes Zimmerly Hodson (Keith) of Scottsdale, Arizona, the last of 11 Zimmerly children, and many nieces and nephews survive her. Christine's husband, Edson R. Booth, preceded her in death in 1966, and we take great comfort in believing that mother and daddy are finally together again, "cutting up" and dancing in heaven.
Christine was born on November 11, 1916 in Socorro, New Mexico to Richard Maxmillian and Eloisa Stackpole Zimmerly. One of her six brothers brought home a classmate at the New Mexico School of Mines (Edson) for dinner, and it was love at first sight! Christine and Edson married in 1938 and moved to Salt Lake to begin daddy's engineering profession at Kennecott Copper. Mother's lifelong career as devoted wife and mother flourished with the arrival of her three "kidlins" over nine years. Christine began her other career, as a bookkeeper (Dixon Paper Co. and Travel Center) when Edson was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Mother was "in her glory" lullabying babies, serving up homilies of common sense and practical economy with Sunday dinners and New Mexican family suppers, lemon meringue and devil's food not to be missed. Her life was enriched with bosom buddies and canasta club, and family visits returning to New Mexico. Her brunette beauty and stylish mode gave a glamorous aura all through her life. A family in the parish of Our Lady of Lourdes, she was devoted in her Novenas and served in Altar Society and saw to it that her children received their sacraments there.
The family is very grateful to the kind and loving staff at Garden Terrace where mother lived for almost six years. Joyce, Norma, Kristi, Marta, Mimi, Omar, Tyrone, Roger, Natalie, Deb and Michelle are just a few of the many who cared for her so well. We thank you sincerely. We would welcome your donation to the Alzheimer's Association in Christine's name instead of flowers. A funeral mass will be celebrated Monday, Jan. 17, at 10:00 a.m. at the Cathedral of the Madeleine, 331 East South Temple. The family will receive friends on Sunday, Jan. 16, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm, with a vigil service to be held at 7:30 p.m. at Neil O'Donnell and Sons Mortuary, 372 East 100 South. Committal, Mt. Calvary Catholic Cemetery, 4th Avenue and T Street.
