In the midst of many challenges she faced, she placed her faith in Jesus. Her favorite passage of scripture was “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 ESV)

Beth will be remembered for her loving heart, quiet strength, and the profound impact she had on her family, friends and community.
