Connie Lee Andrews Booth passed away peacefully on the evening of Tuesday, October 1, 2024. Born in Salina, Utah, she was the second child of Delos and Maxine Andrews.
Through her childhood, her dad’s work took them from Utah to California, and finally to Arizona when she was 14 years old. Connie graduated from Tempe High School and later earned her Bachelor of Science degree from ASU.
Connie met Barry G. Booth in April of 1972. The two were married in the Provo, Utah temple in June and were blessed with 4 children, Ann, Greg, David, and Mark.
Connie loved her family, friends, church, music, and baking. She had a talent for making friends and making you feel important. She kept track of everything about everybody. If she knew you, she probably had your address and phone number in a binder. She loved music and singing in choirs at church.
Connie worked as secretary at Jordan Elementary School for 15 years where her record keeping and bookkeeping skills were used as the standard for secretaries throughout the district.
Following retirement, Connie became interested in family history. She particularly focused on Barry’s family tree. She enjoyed taking names of ancestors for her and Barry to the temple weekly.
Connie is survived by her husband (Barry); children: Ann (Preston) Royce, Greg (Laurel) Booth, David (Amber) Booth, and Mark (Ashley) Booth, siblings: Melvin (Katherine) Andrews, Patsy (Tom) Young, Julie Turnbow, Steven (Rita) Andrews, and her thirteen grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother-in-law, Reed Turnbow.

My sincere condolences to the family. Connie was an amazing woman and mother. I will always be grateful for her love and kindness. May your cherished memories give you strength during this tender time.
Barry, my oldest friend, our deepest condolences to you and your family. May our shared knowledge of the Gospel sustain you all during this brief separation from your eternal companion. Wish we could have lived closer these last years. Take care. Hope to see you soon.
I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Connie. She was so kind to us when we joined the church many years ago. She had such a kind spirit. Our condolences to all who loved her.
My heart breaks knowing beautiful Connie has passed. She was our Relief Society President when we moved in 1998, into Mesa West Stake, Keating Ward. She came by and welcomed us into the ward. Her sweet spirit and compassion warmed my soul when I first met her. Heaven recieved a beautiful person. Everytime I saw her I felt like we started our conversation were we left off the time before. I loved her and still do.
Barry and family may the sweet memories you have of your wife and mother bring you comfort now and in years to come. (((Hugs))) from the Reynolds family.
