Linda Sue Bilbrey Booth

Linda Sue Bilbrey Booth, 70, passed away on Thursday, August 30, 2012 after an unexpected cancer diagnosis. Linda was born on August 3, 1942, in Livingston, TN, to the late Albert Fred Bilbrey and Georgia Mae Bilbrey Frigge.

Linda attended Tennessee Polytechnic Institute in Cookeville, TN, graduating in three years in 1963 with a degree in Mathematics. She moved to Hampton, VA, where she worked for NASA and met her husband of 45 years, Donald Franklin Booth, Sr. She became a resident of Yorktown, VA and proudly left the workforce to become a stay-at-home mother to three children. She later returned to work on the NASA campus as a Systems Analyst for Lockheed-Martin, and retired on the same day as her husband, an electrical engineer at NASA. Linda loved gardening, playing her piano, reading, and spending time with her family.

Her memory will be cherished by her devoted husband, Donald Franklin Booth, Sr of Yorktown; three children, Suzanne Booth Jamison (Neal) of Roanoke, VA, Donald Franklin Booth, Jr. (Sheena) of Poquoson, and Melissa Booth of Charlotte, NC; sister, Ann Bilbrey Glenn (Steve) of The Woodlands, TX; two grandchildren, Evan Jamison of Roanoke and Reed Booth of Poquoson; along with nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless friends.
