Jimmy Boothe

Jimmy Dale Boothe, 76, of Jonesville, LA, passed away on Saturday, April 13, 2024, at Rapides Regional Medical Center in Alexandria, LA.

Memorial services were held at 9 a.m., Sunday, April 21, 2024, in the Boothe Cemetery, Harrisonburg, LA, under the direction of Young’s Funeral Home.

He was born July 10, 1947 in Harrisonburg, LA.

Jimmy spent most of his life raising his family in the Sandy Lake area, where his neighbors became more like family members. There wasn’t a kid within miles who didn’t call him “Uncle Jimmy Dale”! He was a carpenter by trade and could build anything. Many houses in and around Jonesville were built by him and the men he worked with.

Jimmy loved spending time hunting, camping, fishing, riding four wheelers, or just sitting around a fire eating something cooked on the grill while visiting with his family and friends. He especially enjoyed the nights everyone got together for a game of cards. These crazy nights often turned into everyone claiming someone wasn’t putting their money in the pot or that they were passing cards under the table, all in the name of fun! All someone had to do was mentioned going riding up in the Harrisonburg Hills and he was ready to go. He knew those hills like the back of his hands and spent many hours riding or walking the creek beds looking for Indian beads or arrow heads.

Jimmy Dale had a laid-back personality, rarely getting upset about anything. He was a loving son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather who accepted everyone as they were. You rarely saw him when he wasn’t in a cheerful mood or when he wasn’t ready to drop whatever he was doing to stop and visit. He was always willing to help others and never expected or accepted anything in return. The lives of everyone he knew and loved will forever be changed with his passing.

He was preceded in death by his parents, John E. Boothe and Emmie C. Boothe; second wife, Elida Marie Boothe; seven siblings, Charles Lee Boothe, Mary Sue Sanders, Alma Faye Goodwin, John Alvis Boothe, Roy Leon Boothe, Lloyd Edward Boothe and Kirby Jerome Boothe.

Those left to cherish his memory include his daughters, Jelena Louise Cotton (Robert) of Columbia, LA, Penny Dianne Haddad (Jerry Moss) of Jena, LA and Carolyn Denise McMahan (Johnny Jackson), of Crossett, AR; son, Jimmy Lionel Boothe (Amy) of Ruston, LA; daughter, Ada Margaret Pepper and Trinity Jones of Jonesville, LA; brothers, Thadious Shelton Boothe (Sallie) of Jena, LA and James Carson Boothe (Donna) of Harrisonburg, LA; sister, Martha Marie Dunn of Harrisonburg, LA; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
