With deep sadness, we mourn the loss of Nell (Perrin) Booher who passed this life at age 88 on Oct 31st. Nell was a beloved wife, daughter, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her passing leaves a void in the lives of those she touched but her fun crazy memories will live on forever.
If you were a friend of Nell, you instantly knew it and cherished her friendship. Nell had a quick wit that made everyone laugh and will be remembered for her great sense of humor. She was and will always remain a hero and mentor to others who knew her including her many cherished nieces, nephews and in-laws.
She was a devoted wife to Don Booher for almost 60 years. A loving mother to her son Don (Amy) Booher, daughter DeAnn (Brad) Heckenkemper and son Dale Booher. She was affectionately known as Nellie to her grandchildren: Caroline Miller, Haley (Blake) Evans, Carley (Holt) Legan, Max (Stephanie) Heckenkemper, Allison (Taras) Filenko, Emily (Bobby) McDonald and Jennifer Booher. She was so lucky to have known her 10 great- grandchildren: Madelyn and Ethan Heckenkemper, Jackson and Gracie Miller, Graham and Cohen Evans, Merrin and Lilly Filenko and Gray and Mia Legan. She was also a loving sister to Nuel (Judy) Perrin.
Nell retired at age 78 because she loved working and loved all of her clients at South Tulsa Storage. She loved to travel and was at the top of the world in Machu Picchu on her 80th birthday right after she spent 3 nights on the Amazon in a thatched hut and went piranha fishing. She loved Paris, Italy, Ireland, Alaska and all of the beautiful places in America.
She was a great Christian and inspired others in her faith. Her compassion and generosity were free to all who knew her and her legacy will live on for countless years to come.
She is now reunited with her parents Hack and Jewell Perrin and brothers Royce and Neal Perrin, Bill and Janelle Fink and Dorothy Booher, but the most special is that she is reunited with the love of her life, the one she adored... Husband Don.
A memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, November 30th, at Fitzgerald Southwood Colonial Chapel at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers she would want you to reach out to an old friend, co-worker or neighbor to say hello and to tell them how much you care for them.
