Obituary of Victoria Ann Booth

Victoria Ann Booth (nee Stewart), passed away on February 17, 2025.  Vicki was a lifelong resident of Peekskill, NY.  She was born on August 16, 1942.  She was the only child of Ralph Stewart and Elizabeth Stewart (Casterella).  Vicki graduated from Peekskill High School in 1960.  She married, Raymond (Tom) Booth, on November 7, 1965.  He predeceased her in 2013 after 47 years of marriage.  

Vicki is survived by her two children Tracy Sheridan (Jimmy) and James Booth (Faith) and her three grandchildren Matthew Mallory (Brianna Shiver), Kyle Mallory, and Allyson Booth.  She was a fiercely devoted mother and grandmother.  Her children and grandchildren were certainly her pride and joy.  They always felt the love and support she provided to them.  She is also survived by cousins and friends who are scattered all over the country.

She held many jobs in her lifetime such as crossing guard in Peekskill, Teacher Aide at Woodside Elementary School, and secretary at Maryknoll.

Vicki and Tommy loved to travel.  Many winters were spent in Old Forge, NY snowmobiling with friends, and summers at the Jersey Shore.  After traveling to several different campgrounds in South Jersey, they chose one that turned out to be their summer happy place.  In the summer of 1977, they decided that Oak Ridge Campground was the place the family would stay and in 1982 they bought their campsite.  Many wonderful lifelong friendships and memories were made.  They also made trips to Jamaica, St. Lucia, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Florida.  She loved the beach and the boardwalk.  Every time she went to the shore, she had to make at least one trip to the boardwalk.  

Vicki and Tommy lived a happy, loving marriage.  They gave their children a happy home.  

We would like to thank the staff at Artis Memory Care of Somers for taking exceptional care of our mom in her final years.  She truly enjoyed being there and being safe.
