Beth lived in Bay for her entire life and was a long-time member of Bay United Methodist Church and was a dedicated member of Fisher Street Methodist Church in Jonesboro.

Beth created the most amazing flower and vegetable gardens. She loved sitting outside in the mornings and afternoons watching the birds and admiring God's creation. She loved traveling and camping with her husband and her dog, Niko. She was a dedicated St. Louis  Cardinal’s fan and loved watching her grandchildren compete in their sports. She and Donnie enjoyed watching the Bay basketball teams and hardly ever missed a game. Beth was an excellent alto singer and sang with two different trio groups as well as her church choirs. They performed for free at nursing homes, church and city events, and brought peace and comfort to grieving families at funerals. Beth’s insurmountable faith will continue to bless all who knew her.

She is preceded in death by her parents.
