Carolin May Booth (Jensen)
September 25, 1942 – September 4, 2021
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Carolin May Booth announce her peaceful passing at Royal Inland Hospital on September 4, 2021, at the age of 78 years.
Carolin was born in Barhead, AB on September 25, 1942. She lived with her family in Sangudo, Peavine and Calgary, AB before the Jensen family relocated to Kamloops, BC when she was four years old. They settled on a farm in Westsyde, at the location where Jensen Road is today. She attended Westsyde School, graduated from Norkam Secondary and attended Business School at St. Ann’s Academy. In 1959, Carolin met Walter Booth. They married in 1960 and a few years later relocated to Smithers, BC for eight years. In 1970, Carolin and Wally had the opportunity to move back to Kamloops where they settled again in Westsyde to raise their three daughters and son. She was thrilled to be back in the same community that she grew up in, and to be close to family and her many special friends. Carolin enjoyed camping and fishing. Many, many weekends were spent with family and friends at the numerous fishing lakes around the Kamloops area. She also enjoyed cheering on her kids in their school activities and many sporting endeavors – she was a very proud cheerleader. As a Grandma, she enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, doing projects with them and sewing many Halloween costumes. When one of her grandchildren asked, “Gram can you make this for me?” she always found a way to get the job done.
Carolin was predeceased by her husband Walter, her mother Lillian, her father Carl and her sister Freda Bebek.
Carolin is survived by and will be lovingly missed by her children: Tress Dever of Edmonton, Tania Booth (Clayton) of Calgary, and Carmen Yanchuk (Gord) and Chris Booth (Corrina) of Kamloops. She was very proud of her 11 grandchildren: Brittany, Kirsten and Grace, Lindsay, Michael and Shane, Travis and Stephanie, and Tyler, Connor and Meghan. She was also blessed with seven great grandchildren and was excited about the upcoming arrival of her eighth. Carolin had many special relationships with her numerous nieces and nephews. Carolin and Wally’s home was always a place where their children’s friends could gather and feel welcome.
Carolin’s family would like to thank the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff of Unit 4 North at Royal Inland Hospital for their wonderful care over the past weeks. At Carolin’s request, there will be no formal service. Condolences may be left at Drake Cremation and Funeral Services
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Little Farmer’s Petting Zoo at Westsyde Park, where Carolin enjoyed many special times with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Donations can be made by etransfer to littlefarmerspettingzoo@gmail.com
