Linda Bernice Booth Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Linda Bernice Booth, 67, fulfilled this life with grace and elegance on July 11, 2016, in Nashville, TN, after a courageous battle with lymphoma. Linda was born on April 9, 1949, in Memphis, TN, to Alton A. Booth and his beautiful wife, Bernice Kirk Booth. Linda is predeceased by both parents and brother, Wayne Booth. A graduate of Elizabeth Messick High School, Memphis, TN, Linda also completed course studies at Lambuth University, the University of Tennessee, and Belmont College. Reared in Memphis, Linda spent hours volunteering at the local USO with life-long friend, Linda Johns Evans. She embraced an opportunity to live in Rota, Spain, prior to settling in Nashville, where, at age 23 she became a realtor with Nixon-Kent Realtors. Beloved owner, Ina Nixon-Kent, served as Linda's mentor and surrogate Mother, until her passing, and encouraged her to obtain her broker's license at age 25 and establish L.B. Booth Realtors in 1979. As Owner/Broker, ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative) & GRI (Graduate Real Estate Institute), Linda received recognition and honors from local organizations such as First American Bank, for her unprecedented dedication and creative sales expertise that benefited her loyal clients. She was a member of the Nashville Board of Realtors from 1973-2016. Her motto; Where there is a will, there is a way, remained her mantra until the end. Linda touched many lives with her engaging smile, generosity, and trademark sense of tenacity. Even with a history of photographic and commercial modeling, she remained a city/country girl that loved the simple beauty found in nature, flowers and God's creatures. An ardent supporter of the Arts, she shared her marketing skills with the Nashville Symphony. Linda's deep devotion to animal welfare has resulted in a generous donation to Arkansas Paws in Prison to sustain her legacy. Paws in Prison, is a program that pairs rescue dogs scheduled to be euthanized with prisoners that have earned the opportunity to participate in the specialized training course. Following an intensive, 8 week 24/7 training, the dogs are provided for adoption to returning soldiers and the general public with companion needs. As a devoted member of Christ Episcopal Cathedral and attendee of St. George's Episcopal Church, a memorial celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, July 23, 2016, at St. George's Episcopal Church., 4715 Harding Pike, Nashville, TN 37205. The 1:30 pm memorial will be preceded by a reception for family and friends at 12:30. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made either to St. George's Episcopal Church or Arkansas Paws in Prison, 6814 Princeton Pike, Pine Bluff, AR 71602. "And in her, the concept of ceaseless love could find no better example."
