Mattie Pearl (McKinnie) Booker

Mattie was born April 7, 1952 in Campbellton FL to Howard McKinnie and Alneta Pittman.

She graduated St Paul High School in 1970. She was employed for many years at West Point Stevens in Chipley, Florida. She was a faithful member of New Bethel CME Church in Campbellton Florida, where she served on the Usher Board for over 25 years. 

Mattie was a true woman of God. She was loving, selfless, and poured herself into her family and faith. Mattie adored her children and grandchildren. She was a very supportive safe space and was proud of all of their accomplishments. She loved sewing, playing board games, and spending time with family. 

She fought an incredible fight with grace, faith, and strength only God could give. God called her home on Thursday, July 3, 2025, with her family at her side. 

She is preceded in death by her husband John O. Booker; parents, Howard McKinnie and Alneta Pittman; her stepfather, L. R. Pittman; a sister Carolyn McKinnie. 

She is survived by her children Marcus A. and LaTrisha Booker of Tallahassee, Florida and Kimberly L. Booker of Pensacola, Florida; grandchildren, Makenzi and Mathew; siblings: Howard McKinnie (Carolyn) of Campbellton, Florida; Gene Otis Daniels (Jacquelyn) of Greenwood, South Carolina; Michael Britt (Marilyn) of Campbellton, Florida; Sherrie McKinnie of Irvington, New Jersey, Donald Roy Godwin of Miami, Florida, Carol Pittman of Campbellton, Florida, Sharon Pittman of Macon, Georgia; and Catherine Pittman of Campbellton, Florida; sisters and brothers-in-law: Glory Booker-Reynolds, Tommy Lee Booker, Reggie Booker, Elizabeth B.
