Raised in western Los Angeles, Hope-Booker attended Emanuel Arts High School and studied piano at Los Angeles Community College. She received her B.A. degree in early childhood education from Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Hope served as artist-in-residence at the New Jersey State Council on the Arts where she performed in state-wide New Jersey music workshops. She married her late husband, Elmo Hope, in 1957. She later married Walter Booker, Jr. and the two worked to keep the music of Elmo Booker alive through a tribute ensemble called ELMOllenium and The Elmo Hope Project. In addition, Hope-Booker led The Bertha Hope Trio which toured extensively throughout Japan.
