Donald Booth

Donald H. Booth, 72

Beloved father, brother, and husband Donald Howard Booth of Clayton, Ohio entered into God’s Kingdom on December 15, 2022 after a nearly 5-year battle with Parkinson’s disease. Donald was born to Paul and Irene Booth on March 3, 1950 in Akron, Ohio. When Don was younger his favorite activities were band, church youth group, and boy scouts. He graduated from Springfield High School and then Malone college with a degree in theology. He then entered Asbury Theological Seminary and earned a Masters of Divinity degree. Don became an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church and served as a pastor in many parishes in the UMC East Ohio Conference for over 44 years. Don was preceded in death by his parents and his older brother David Booth. He is survived by many loving family members including his wife of 50 years Martha (Haslett) Booth, brother Ronald Booth, sons Joshua (Abigail) Booth of Alliance, Dr. Adam (Jessica) Booth of Brookville and 8 grandchildren: Isaac, James, Matthew, Olivia, Nyx, Samuel, Ezekiel, and Zebedee. He is also survived by many loving friends and lives he touched in the nine churches he served as their pastor. A memorial service will be held at a future time (to be announced) in the greater Akron area where Donald’s parishes were located. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in memory of Donald Booth to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and/or to any of the many churches Don served as pastor over the years. Arrangements made by GILBERT-FELLERS FUNERAL HOME, 950 ALBERT RD., BROOKVILLE.
