Fredia Lutricia Booker, affectionately known as “Lu” was born as a twin in Atlanta, Georgia on June 26, 1949, to the late Rev. John and Vivian Booker as the second of three children.
She transitioned on April 4, 2026, at 10:00 A.M. at her home in Peachtree City, Ga.
Lu was as strong-willed as her twin Redia, as a leader, organizer, motivator and teacher. She graduated from C.L. Harper High School in May of 1967 and matriculated to Morris Brown College.
While attending Harper High, she was a faithful member of the school chorus. Fredia graduated from Morris Brown College in 1971 with a BA in Sociology. She studied further at Georgia State University, Atlanta University and University of the South. She was a member of Ga. Association of Educators and Ga. Council for Social Studies. She loved history and could quote dates easily.
Her community development included Phi Delta Kappa Sorority, Inc., Alpha Epsilon Chapter. She sponsored Saturday Tutorial Programs with the Vine City Equal Opportunity Program. She was a dedicated member of Greater St. Peter AME Church where she served on several church organizations and received the Outstanding Educator and Lay Person of the Year among a series of other awards.
As an Educator she began her teaching career at Martin Luther King Middle School in1973 and later taught at South Atlanta High School, which was formally known as Walter George High School. She was the Principal of Greater St. Peter Christian Academy where she increased enrollment 10% each year. She loved children and educating them.
Fredia was a sister, aunt, cousin, Godmother and a good friend to many people. We will miss the beautiful smile, caring disposition and lovely laughter.
Fredia’s twin, Redia Booker Orr, preceded her in death. She leaves to cherish her memories, her sister, Mrs. Gail B. (Marvin) Traylor; niece, Ms. Denise Barbour; Goddaughter, Dr. Rosegenee M.
