James Clovis Booth

James Clovis Booth of Dibble, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Oklahoma City at the age of 91. Born on January 21, 1934, in Lane, Oklahoma, Clovis was the beloved son of Lois (Winter) and Dewey Booth. Clovis grew up in Atoka County, where he attended grade school in Lane and graduated from Atoka High School. On August 7, 1954, he married the love of his life, Nancy Ellen Eaton. Their enduring marriage was a testament to love, commitment, and partnership. A proud veteran, Clovis served in the United States Army from March 1956 to March 1958. Clovis later dedicated many years of hard work as a meat cutter for Wilson Foods before retiring. In addition to his career, Clovis was a lifelong cattleman, a dedicated coach, and dabbled in real estate. His work ethic was matched only by his passion for life and the people in it. Clovis had a deep love for music and was well known for his talent and joy in both attending and playing at jam sessions and music festivals. He and Nancy were honored for their musical contributions with induction into the Old Time Country Music Hall of Fame. Those who knew Clovis will remember him for his playful spirit—he loved a good joke and never missed a chance to tease. He found great joy in spending time with his grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and was always ready to lend a hand. Whether caregiving for ill family members, helping his loved ones, or traveling with Nancy and their family, Clovis lived a life marked by generosity, humor, and devotion. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know and love him. Clovis was preceded in death by his dear wife, Nancy Ellen Booth who passed away on August 31, 2024; Parents, Lois (Winter) and Dewey Booth; Brothers, Junior, Kenneth, and Randol. Clovis is survived by his Son, James Daniel “Danny” Booth and wife Kim; Daughters, Genise Faye Offolter and husband Landy, Denise Kaye Scales and husband Lonny; Sisters, Vera Lu Dukes, Catherine Suhr; eight grandchildren, twenty great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.
