Jo Ann Blankenship Booth

Our beautiful mother, Jo Ann Blankenship Booth, went home to be with the Lord on Friday December 11, 2020 after a battle with Parkinson's disease.  She married Edward Booth on March 31, 1950 until his death in 1997. She is survived by her daughter, Lisa (John) Lane and son, Reece Booth. Granddaughters Kelli Lane, Meagan Lane & her fiancé, Adam Lee. Grandsons J.D. Lane, Adam Lane & Trenton Edward Booth. Great-grandchildren Austin Miller and Olivia Grace Dailey. She leaves behind many nieces, nephews & friends she loved dearly. One very special departed friend, Phyllis Hensley. Mom bowled in several leagues and always enjoyed her out of town trips to tournaments. She loved Chanel #5 perfume, which our dad would buy for her at Christmas every year. She was always dressed to perfection without a hair out of place. She worked at Guaranty Bank and made great friends with all her co-workers. Mom was a devoted fan of her Marshall University Thundering Herd football team, tailgating at all home and even some away games until 2017.  She was born on September 27, 1929 to the late Carl and Lula Crook Blankenship. She was predeceased by sisters Hazel (Benjamin) Bunn, Francis (Dude) Singer, Mildred (Hobart) Asbury, brothers Mitch (Betty) Blankenship and Bill (Sally) Blankenship. She attended Crook Chapel Church faithfully until her health declined. We would like to thank her caregivers Diane McMillian & Rachael Jones who were lifesavers for us. Also to the many home health nurses & therapists who helped mom. There will be no services due to Covid. In lieu of flowers, we ask donations be sent to the Emogene Dolin Hospice House of Huntington in her name. They took wonderful care of mom until the end and we will be forever grateful to them.  Reger Funeral Home, Huntington is assisting the family with arrangements.  Condolences may be made to the family at www.regerfh.com .
