Today’s Scripture

Philippians 1:6 (ESV)
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 3:12-14 (ESV)
Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Lindsey Newton Booty

February 11, 1945 — October 19, 2026

A resident of Amite, LA, born on February 11, 1945 to Homer and Faye Cutrer Booty, entered into his eternal life on Monday, October 19, 2026 at the age of 81 years. He graduated from Kentwood High School in 1963. He worked at Dibert, Bancroft and Ross Steel, Atkinson Steel, and Simmons Texaco. Lindsey had a sense of humor which kept you in stitches. Lindsey was a hard working and loving family man, loving husband, father and grandfather. He loved the Lord and talked to him daily. Lindsey loved watching football, fishing, golf and westerns. His greatest passion was the thrill of the hunt of yard sale finds. He is survived by his wife of 43 years, JoAnn Cavaretta Booty; 2 children, Vikki Pitre and Keith Cavaretta (Kelly); grandchildren, Anna Cavaretta, Chris Cavaretta, and Landon Dufrene; sister, Betty Simpson; brothers, Alton Booty and Dennis Booty; family friend, Darlene Cavaretta; and numerous nieces and nephews.
