The driver Charles Edwards was initially arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
But the 76-year-old then pleaded guilty to causing Ms Booth's death by careless driving.
He avoided immediate custody at Preston Crown Court.
The Honorary Recorder of Preston, Judge Robert Altham, handed Edwards, of Up Holland Road, Billinge, a 12-month sentence suspended for two years.
He made a curfew ordering the pensioner to remain at home between 8pm and 6am for seven months.
Edwards was also disqualified from driving for five years.
Ms Booth's daughter Rebecca Wiley said: “My mum was such a beautiful young soul, she’ll be loved and missed forever.”
