I knew Beth mainly through her friendship with my mother. Mom would talk about all the fun and adventures they would have together and I felt glad that she had such a good friend in Beth. My deepest condolences to her family.

Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is leading her to the waters of Life. A new body and rewards await her. Prayers and Peace to the family for their loss. May the Lord be with them during this time and forevermore.

— Don Roddy (Friend of Bobby)

Dancing in the rain with her Savior......head back, arms out, laughing is the picture I have. Beth was such a committed christian.....she told me once that she tried to look at people through God's eyes. Now her body is whole. You all miss her but know that she loved you all so much.

— Jeannette Harter

Beth was always so much fun! I have many fond memories camping and at family gatherings. She was a lovely woman who loved the family (especially those grandkids!). Beth, you will be missed by so many.
