Obituary
On April 6, 1959, Thomas and Rosalie Boothe gave birth to Saundra Boothe at Queens General Hospital in New York City, New York. Thomas Boothe was the adventurous soul who moved the family to Portland Oregon. Saundra received her bachelor degree from Walla Walla University. Saundra moved to Seattle Washington a few years after her mother passed way. Seattle Washington became her home. Saundra had a quiet demeanor and kept to herself for much of her life. However, she had a bold spirit for Christ. She loved God and the Bible was her favorite subject. She may not have known this, but she taught Biblical principles and scriptures to many.
She loved her family, her church, her job and her best friend Marilyn, that took her from the quiet soul to the adventurous, fun loving, outgoing person we all loved and will miss. In her time of need, Saundra was loved by her friend Marilyn Fletcher and Volunteer Park Seven Day Adventist Church, that was there for any and everything she needed. The support was truly glorious to behold.
Saundra will be missed by her Father, Thomas Boothe, her Sister, Linda Johnson, her brother, Anthony Saunders, her Aunt, Deborah Charles, her niece Lenora Hall and several grand nieces, nephews, cousins and her best friend that became family, Marilyn Fletcher. Saundra would want me to give a special thanks to Marilyn and her church home. Thank you for the warmth and love that gracefully held her hand until the Master took hold of her. It was a true vision of LOVE. Thank you.
My sister of the heart as well as in Christ, Saundra is missed daily. Now she sleeps in peace awaiting for Jesus. “For the LORD himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the LORD in the air: and so shall we ever be with the LORD. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)
Saundra was my close friend when we were both in college. I was taking a class that frustrated me very much. I would get out of class at 11:50, and she would have me laughing before 12:30, in time for lunch. After college, I lost track of her. I have googled her name periodically, trying to track her down. I’m sorry I didn’t find her sooner. I’m grateful to have been her friend.
