Betty Joanne Booth

July 21, 1940 — April 30, 2017

Betty Joanne Booth, daughter of the late Joseph and Fern (MacDonald) Killough, was born July 21, 1940 in Boise City, Oklahoma and departed this life on April 30, 2017 at her home near Mountain Grove, Missouri. She was 76 years, 9 months, and 9 days of age.
Betty was raised in Guymon, Oklahoma and moved to Liberal, Kansas when she was 16. She graduated from Liberal High School in 1957. Betty married William Booth on April 21, 1959 in Liberal. Seven children were born to this union.
Betty and Bill moved to McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kansas while Bill served in the military. After his service they moved back to Liberal. Betty was a homemaker until 1978, when she and Bill purchased B & B Overnite Camp. They operated it together until they retired in November 2010. The campground is now Seven Winds RV Park and is still managed by the family. Following retirement, they moved to Mountain Grove, Missouri to pursue their dream of having a farm and a nice spacious house.
