Beth’s Story

Site created on May 24, 2021

Dear Community: Our love for Beth is so deep and so wide, we thought it time to start a CaringBridge page to keep us all connected.

Journal entry by Leon Werdinger

It’s been one year since Beth passed away and the joy and richness that Beth brought to our lives becomes clearer with each passing season.  An old friend summed up Beth so well in a note that she wrote Beth’s mother after hearing of Beth’s death:
 
…I was in awe of her and admired all that she did and more importantly, how she did it - quietly and with grace.  Accomplishments with no fanfare, always shining light on others.  To me Beth was a pioneer, a fiercely bold, independent woman I deeply admired.  Beth was a cut above the rest, and beautiful.  Her love of the earth and her ability to beat to her own drummer continue to inspire me.
 
 
Below are a couple articles relating to Beth from our local paper:

And if feel like having a good cry, here’s the link the Beth slide show again.
 
Thank you for your love and support through the years.  Friends and family meant the world to Beth. 
 
With love and gratitude.
