A precious lady who brought goodness and love to our World. She was not afraid to tell it like it is, but she always did so with loving kindness. I will miss her greatly.

I met Beth in 2017 the same day she moved back to Arizona. She moved into the house right next door. She insisted on shaking my hand and introducing herself to me. I keep to myself a lot but once I met Beth, Jack, and Holly, it was like we had always known each other. Throughout our years living right next door to each other, we had cookouts, dinners, and chocolate Twinkies. If she needed something and I had it, I’d give it to her and vice versa. Again, I keep to myself a lot, but I sure am blessed I had Beth and her family right next door. Beth, the last time we spoke, you hugged me so tight and we cried, you told me “be strong, you always have a family here. I love you so much”. I love you too Beth, I thank you and will miss you.
