Linnea Sue Booth

Linnea Sue Booth passed away on Saturday, April 6, 2019, after a short battle with cancer that has stretched over many years. Linnea was a graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School in Dallas, Texas before earning her Radio & Television Communications Degree from the University of Texas in Austin. Linnea worked at NBC-Fort Worth in her early career as a News Director, and most recently, she has worked for American Airlines where she had many special friends and co-workers. In between careers, she was a wonderful mother who poured her heart into everything a mom would do to help raise two wonderful children. She invested all her time into this role and with great rewards. Linnea always loved to travel and see new things. From the beaches of South Carolina to mountains of Utah and Colorado, multiple countries in Europe, and even the weekend trip with friends, she was always ready to pack her bags and go. Linnea loved having fun, enjoyed music, and was always on the looking for the next adventure, maybe an out of town concert or a project around the home. She was a wonderful daughter, wife, mother, and friend.

Linnea is survived by her husband, Jeff Booth of Bedford, Texas and their two children: son Benjamin of Granbury, Texas and daughter Olivia of Waco, Texas. She is also survived by her mother, Carole Derden and Max Derden of Hamilton, Texas, her mother-in-law Wanda Booth of Bells, Texas and her brother-in-law/sister-in law, Greg and Mandy Booth of Bells, Texas. She had one niece, Haleigh Monteleone, and her husband, Vince Monteleone of Whitesboro, Texas and their three children. Linnea had many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins who still remained close and helped influence her life over the shortened years she had.

Funeral services will be held at 10am on Monday, April 8th at First Baptist Church of Grapevine where she was a member for many years, followed by a family graveside service in Hamilton, Texas, which will be her final resting place. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Susan G. Komen Foundation to help find cures for Breast Cancer.
