Booch, as she was known to her family and friends, was born Oct. 28, 1931, in Florala, Ala.
She married Clifford Chandler in Reynosa, Mexico, in 1950, and they made their home briefly in Raymondville, Texas. Through the years, Booch and Cliff had the pleasure of making many new friends while living in various towns in Texas, Louisiana and Florida.
In 1978, Booch experienced a different lifestyle when Cliff was employed with Aramco Oil in Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia. This experience gave them the opportunity to make many friends from all over the world. Booch loved to garden and cook and was equally good at both. She was blessed over the years with many loving friends and family whom she cherished until her death.
Memorials may be made to the charity of your choice.

Chandler and wife Mary Jane of Alvin, J.D. Chandler and wife Karen of Tishamingo, Okla., and Doug Chandler and wife Kay of Decatur, Ala.; and sisters-in-law, Mary Pittman and Christi Barnes of Texas.
