Beth was always so nice to me…she convinced me to attend our 50th class reunion, and I was looking so forward to seeing her. My prayers are with Matthew and the rest of her family.

Beth was very proud of her sterling career. Her career was the highlight of her life. Rest in peace Beth. I’m so sorry about your last year. I know you are at peace now.
Beth also greatly loved her grandniece Amelia. Beth made beautiful arts and crafts for little Amelia which still grace the walls of her bedroom. I’m surprised Amelia wasn’t mentioned in the obituary because she was so important to poor Beth.
I’m deeply sorry that the last year of her life was spent in misery. Rest in peace.
