I cannot believe it has been 14 years. Thoughts of our childhood growing up in the old Dartmouth neighborhood come to mind frequently. My heart is full of prayers for continued healing for everyone who was touched by Beth in any way. We are all better for your having been here.

Thinking about you today-your name came up in conversation this morning. I have such great memories of you on the floors at the hospital as a Resident...wearing bib overalls and those micro braids, flying in the face of convention....you always had a smile for everyone! So full of life and fun! So intelligent and insightful. And so very, very compassionate and caring. I miss your bright light...I'm shedding a tear for your passing way to soon.

Dr Wutz was attending physician of my first rotation
As a medical resident. This was June 2000.
I just learnt of her passing way. I would always remember her as a bright, intelligent and compassionate person.
She made me feel welcomed in this country.
God bless her and God bless her parents for raising such a wonderful person

Beth I miss you every day. Our family was your very first patients. I have searched for an MD to take care of us with the love, caring, and intelligence to no avail. You were my doc, my colleague, and my friend and I love you so much. I truly miss you! The world has lost a great person. You were my guardian angel. I pray you are finally pain free and at peace.

My husband and I think of you often.
Beth was the nicest, most caring, and friendliest doctor. We miss her wonderful sense of humor and her beautiful smile. Beth was one of a kind and we were lucky enough to have known her. God bless.....

October 21, 2008 To all who loved her - Dr. "Beth" Wutz. In December of 1984 I lost my long time doctor of 25 years.At that time I felt I would never find such a wonderful doctor again. In April of 2000 I was very happy to be proven wrong, because that was my first encounter with Dr. Wutz. She wasn't supposed to take any new patients at her Lancaster office, but she got around that by consulting on my first visit. Two years later when I went for my yearly check-up, I told her that my husband of 36 years had passed away on April 10th. She cried with me and consoled me. Shortly after that I had a medical problem on a Saturday. She was at the hospital when she returned my call and said she would open the Buffalo office just to see me. Words cannot express the emotions that filled me. I knew right there and then that she truly was my first doctor reincarnated. To the Wutz family, thank you for sharing your wonderful daughter with all of us. On April 10th 2007, I was one of her last patients. When she came into the room that day the first thing she asked was, "How are you holding up?", because she knew that it had been 5 years that day. On October 6th as I was leaving work, I looked at the paper and started to cry. You see, that was when I found out that on October 4th 2007 my beloved doctor and friend had gone to trade witticisms with my husband. I thank the Lord for the honor of having known such a wonderful person. Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of Dr. "Beth". Lyn Donacik

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Wutz and Family, You have given so many people a wonderful gift. Your daughter and sister, Beth. Beth was all about compassion, caring, nurturing, helping and most importantly love. Beth brought all of these feelings to each and every person she knew. Beth was an extraordinary Doctor! She always gave more of herself than was ever expected and necessary. Beths' concern for her patients was so genuine. Beth became friends with many of us. Beth made us feel like part of her family. Beth often spoke of her own family. Dad and Mom, her sister and brother and spouses. Beths' delight came when she spoke of her neices and nephews! Beth let people know that they were her pride and joy. You could feel the special bond she had with each of them. The stories of their adventures were always funny. I'm sure many lessons came out of them. Beth often spoke of her Uncle Paul. She would say how he loved to go shopping. He would always hope for a day or two of rain, while on vacation, so they could get some of his Christmas shopping done. Beth would laugh and remark that Father Paul had the upper hand with a little help from above to achieve his goal! I cannot believe that so much time has past. I know Beth is watching over each and every one of us. We will always have our very own special angel by our side! I hope you may be comforted by our sincere thoughts and prayers for Beth. May time and love bring you God's peace. I know that people do pass on, but their memory, especially Beths', will always live on in our hearts. I miss you my friend, and thank you for making me a better person for having known you.

Dr. Wutz was my favorite doctor. She made me smile no matter how bad my mood was, and if I needed anything she was there to listen and help any way she could! She was my doctor but also a friend! She was an amazing person, I'm glad that I had the chance to know her! I'll never find a better doctor! We'll miss you and your in my prayers!

Dear Wutz Family,
It has been a great honor and pleasure to have Beth as my son's pediatrician for the past five years. I just found out about her passing on Thursday November eigth. I am so very very sorry that this had to happen to her. I already miss her. I can remember going to the Buffalo office for my son's check up and the nurse telling me that she would be out for a little while due to surgery. I constantly asked (everytime we went to the office) is Dr. Wutz Back? I have no idea how I am going to explain this to my son. He really enjoyed going to visit and playing with her. This news definately took me and my mother by surprise. She was more than just my son's doctor she was a friend to me as well. She was always willing to listen, give advice and help in any way possible. She would always share stories about her niece and nephew and boy where they funny. She loved all of her family dearly. I know that I will never have as strong of a bond with any other pediatrician like I had with Beth. I know for sure "Mr. Peoples" (as she always called my son) will miss her to. Beth was like an extended family member to my family and we loved her dearly. We will never forget her. Once again my families prayers and condolences are with you all in your time of need.

I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear the news of Dr. Beth Wutz's untimely passing. She was the best doctor my son has ever had. She always made us laugh when we would go see her. I always looked forward to taking my son for his checkups and having the opportunity to talk with her. She will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends.

I had the privelege of completing several clinical rotations at Beth Wutz' office. She constantly and enthusiastically challenged me. She taught me a lot. Beth's compassionate and caring nature was truly inspiring. She embodied all I hope to be as a physician assistant. I am grateful for the opportunity to have known and learned from Dr. Wutz.
My deepest sympathies to her family, friends, coworkers and patients. Beth will be remembered always and forever missed.

To Her Family and Friends,
I am so very sorry about what has happened to Dr. Wutz. I am shocked to hear that we have lost her. She helped me and took good care of me thru a very tough time. I will always remember her, and how she would look at me in her way and tell me that I was too old to move rocks, and how we would laugh.

I just wanted to extend my deepest sympathy to the family of Dr. Beth Wutz. I just found out yesterday (10.22) that she passed away. I am so sorry to hear that such a great physician is no longer with us. My prayers are with you all.

Wow I am totally floored by this aweful news! I didnt find out until my hmro sent a letter stating I had to find another Primary Doctor. First of all words can not express the heartfelt sympathy I have for your entire family as well as all of patients and friends of Dr. Wutz's. I like many others feel she was not only my doctor but friend, confidant and always giving me the time of day. I started with her out at Lancaster and followed her as she moved. Beth had a special quality about her that not everyone in the health field had. She actually cared about each one of us on an individual basis and not by how much our insurance paid. I may have spent alot of time in the office waiting for her to get to me but anyone that knew her knew that she was giving herself for that patient. Our loved ones are gone but never forgotten. Time will heal all pains. Not only did we lose the greatest doctor of all time but we lost our friend, sister, aunt, cousin, and daughter. May you all find the strength with each passing day and know that all of the patients, your extended family, have you in our thoughts and prayers.

She was an amazing person. She instilled a trust in her that I had never experienced with any doctor I have ever had. I know the loss I feel is miniscule compared to what her family and friends must feel. But the entries here tell of an amazing life full of giving. She has definitely changed a lot of lives, mine included. I am just grateful I was blessed to know her and be her patient. My prayers to her family and Jill.

I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of Dr. Wutz. I just found out today and I am shocked. I knew she was ill, but not this ill. She was such a strong woman and seemed invincible. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. She always talked about the fun she had with her nieces and nephews. She always made me laugh. She was my doctor and my dads doctor. She helped my dad through some very rough times and I will be forever grateful. She has been taken way too soon, but I know God has a plan and he must have needed her for bigger things. She touched so many lives and was such a good role model. I am praying for you too Jackie- please take care of yourself!!! I hope the family sets up a scholarship fund in her name for a student that will be attending college to be a doctor. She was so compassionate and caring which is rare to find in a doctor these days. Most doctors treat their patients as numbers, not Dr. Wutz- she truly cared and it showed in the way she treated her patients and how she followed up with a phone call even on the weekend. God Bless!

Mr. & Mrs Wutz, John and Laura,
I want to express my sincerest condolences to you and friends and Family.
Beth was the wise older sister to the kids in Community. She never had to say much to keep us from getting in trouble, whether at Canisius, Allegheny, Seder, or Father Paul's.
Her caring ways defined her. She left us far too early, but the impact she had on people's lives and the example she set are her eternal legacy. The care she took with my family was a security blanket -- all would be good because Dr. Beth was on watch.
We will all miss her, and thank God for sharing her with us when he did.

I have never met somone that gave so much to others. I always looked up to her as a person. Also being a patient I looked forward to seeing Dr. Wutz because I knew that she would uplift my day and be 100% honest with me. She always told me how it was and I will miss that truthfulness in my life.

Beth's death was such an incredible loss to so many people. I know her pain is over; but the pain of those who knew and loved her and needed her, will go on for a long time.
She was a wonderful Doctor, as well as daughter, sister, aunt, and friend to many.
Why such suffering happens to someone so young, vital, and full of life, is hard to understand. We just have to trust that it is part of God's greater plan, and Beth is free of pain and at peace.
She will be missed!!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Joan and Herb:
Please know that you have my deepest condolences over the loss of your daughter, Beth. Beth was a wonderful person, a wonderful friend, and a compassionate physician. She spent a lot of time with me in her office, listening to my worries, answering my questions, and giving good advice.
The love that people had for her was evident by the long, long lines at Beth's wake. I was impressed by the diversity of those who wished to pay their respects - to you, and finally, to Beth.
I know that you will miss her as your daughter - very, very much, and I will miss her as my Doctor and as my friend.
Love,
Chuck

Dear Joan and Herb, Laura and John:
You have lost your dear Beth - but she will live on in the memories of all of us. As long as one of us lives, she will live - in that way. I do believe, despite much skepticism and doubt about religion, that those who go before us are still there - out there - in a better place, and that we shall know them once again, when we join them. Until then, I believe they contact us and guide us - certainly I have had that experience with my long-deceased mother, through the facilitation of a member of the Spiritualist religion.
I have not tried to contact her since, but it is a wonderful thing to know she is there.
I pray for Beth every day - a prayer of thanks that she is free of earthly suffering, and a prayer of hope and belief that God will hold her near and dear to himself. Also, I pray that Beth will find her way through to those of you who so dearly loved her - that she may guide and comfort you from her place of wisdom.
And I offer a special prayer for Paul, Beth's uncle, who has been a rock of support for his family, and for so many of us.
Love,
Moira

To the family of Dr. Wutz...
Words cannot express how saddened I was to hear of the passing of this amazing woman. Not only professionally, but personally. The first time I had an appointment with Dr. Wutz, the nurse showed me to the exam room and gave me a packet of papers to fill out. Just a few minutes later Dr. Wutz walked in (being my first appointment, I had no idea she was the doctor) and I said I was sorry but was not done completing the paperwork. She said fine and that she would be back with the doctor and left the room - seconds later she walked back in chuckling that she loved to do that to new patients - I knew right then I had made an excellent choice in physicians as she not only was brilliant, caring, compassionate but could brighten even the darkest of days. As her family and close friends and collegues you will truly miss her but please take consolation in knowing that many loved, treasured, appreciated and mourn the loss of one of the finest. Trust in God for the strength to endure at the time of loss.
A devoted patient of Dr. Wutz!

To Dr. Wutz's Family and Dr. Wutz's Special Friend, Jill:
Dr. Wutz. What a doctor! What a friend! What a person!
Everyday is a gift from God, and there are no guarantees. Dr. Wutz took care of all of us while she was here on Earth. Now God will take care of her while she's in Heaven.
I already miss Dr. Wutz as my doctor and I don't think that I will ever find such a wonderful doctor again, but I feel blessed to have known her. She was understanding, compassionate, and caring. She treated more than just the illness--she treated the whole person--physically, mentally, and spiritually. She will forever be in my heart.
I will forever be,

Dear Dr. Beth,
Although I was only a patient of yours for a short time you truly were the best. I never go to doctors because I am plainly just scared, and my mother told me that you were different. I guess Mothers know best because when I left after my first appointment I got in the car in awe. I called my mother ( Cindy Beaumont) and said ,"are you sure she is a doctor "because I felt like I was talking to a friend or serious comedian. Shortly after I became ill and was traveling the next day to Disney. You opened the office to see me and to make sure that my travels were pleasant. She was always so caring and kind and anyone that knew her felt an instant connection. Please know that our hearts are heavy and our prayers are plenty for your family and the medical community that will miss her so deeply.

I went to school with Beth and Laura at Amherst High. I belive Beth and I were teammates on the Pirates in little league baseball and we were also in drama club together in high school. I remember Beth as quiet, but incredibly smart with a quick sense of humor, just as those who knew her later in life remember her as well. I wish you all God's love and comfort at this time.

People have eloquently expressed what I have felt since learning of Beth's illness and subsequent death. She was a wonderful doctor and always had a smart aleck comment for me which, frankly, was the best medicine I could receive.

Dr.Beth, A person that words can not explain. I my husband and children have been a patient of Dr. Beth's for 13 years. She had always cared in a special way for each individual. Beth had always taken her time with you as a patient and as a friend. Never did she make you feel that you were being rushed. Beth had always made you feel that you were the most important at the time of her care.I will miss her very much and there will never be another SPECIAL person like Doctor Beth Wutz

Dr. Wutz obviously touched many lives, including mine. She always had such a personal touch, the right comment at the perfect moment. I have so many stories, but the bottomline is she made my life better - not only because she excelled at being a doctor, but because she was a wonderful person too. I will miss her, and my heart aches for her family. God Bless.

I remember waking up in the hospital the morning after my son was born and seeing Dr. Wutz at the foot of my bed holding Henri. Dr. Wutz talked me through the doubts a first time mother has and she showed genuine concern for my well-being, as well as my son's.
Dr. Wutz's passing is a loss to the community in so many ways, but I feel most for her family and partner.
This world has lost a great doctor and a wonderful person, much too soon.

Dr. Wutz was my doctor for may years. She was the most incredible doctor and gifted physician. She helped me through many hard times. She never judged, just listened and never rushed through an appointment. She took time to truly listen. I recall on certain occassions her crying along with me and holding my hand telling me that things would get better. Dr. Wutz inspired me as a human being, allowing me to realize that nothing is impossible. She cared for my parents as well, and listened openly to my thoughts and feelings about them. Dr. Wutz spoke often about her family and her personal life. She adored her neices and nephews, always talking about attending some event, and was very proud of the accomplishments of her brother and sister. I was younger than her and she was much more than a doctor to me. She was like an older sister and friend who was always there to listen, to help and to heal. I will never find another doctor like her and I feel blessed just to have known her and had her care for me. She will be truly missed.
October 9, 2007
Dr. Wutz was my primary for years, she was truly a caring doctor, always made me feel at ease and was a wealth of knowledge. She was most recently VERY instrumental in helping us with the health evaluation and medical process of the international adoption of our two baby girls in March 2007. She will be missed dearly.

I have known Beth since she was a little girl, but even then I know that she was a special individual. Diane and I have watched her grow, mature, and blossom as a woman and a doctor. She has cared for my family in ways that no one else will ever be able to match. Discussions during visits to the office always ranged far and wide. We talked and laughed about our families, business, nieces and nephews or grandchildren. Her perceptions were sharp and accurate but also tempered by her caring and concern for all of us. I will never forget the special interest, concern, and attention she gave to Anna. The void that her passing creates in our lives cannot be filled but the best we can do is remember her gifts to all of us.
I’ll miss her at the Sabres games!

My sincerest condolences to the Wutz family. I was so saddened to hear of her passing. She was an excellent physician--one of the best! Please take comfort in the fact that she helped so many people and raised the standard of medical care. She was warm, human and sincere.
She will be greatly missed!

My daughter is only 9 years old and she wanted to share a poem of how much Dr. Beth meant to her.
My friend is now in the sky,
I pray to God and ask him why?
My friend left earth indeed,
To let all of us succeed.
My friend was very sick and suffered death.
My friends name, was Dr. Beth.

Beth Wutz was truely a gifted and giving physician. She had the ability to make you feel that you had a special doctor-patient relationship. In a short time you felt like you were good friends. I will miss her. As a nurse at Buffalo General I also saw how she always made sure her patients were well taken care of, nothing was missed. I won't be able to replace her. My condolences go out to all her family and loved ones.

We couldn't have had a better doctor-- Dr. Wutz was kind, compassionate, and always took her time with us during every office visit. She calmed our "new parent" nerves and had a great sense of humor. She was wonderful with our two sons as well as with us. We miss her very much and are so grateful to have benefitted from her knowledge and advice these past three years. The Wutz family is in our thoughts and prayers.

The world is a better place because of Beth's kindness, caring, and concern. Both my daughter and I went to her and it was always "painless". I also had the pleasure of knowing her when she was a Resident at Buffalo General. It was wonderful watching her learn and grow as a doctor. She had such energy and enthusiasm. She made me laugh. I envied her hair!! The world is now a sadder place for loosing her. I regret that circumstances kept us from being able to offer our condolences in person but know that we are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Heidi and Melissa Bonner

Dr. Wutz was always a shoot-from-the hip kind of person in the most caring way. She always was so non- judgmental thru all my trials and tribulations.I felt truly cared for .She was my "doc" for many years and most recently my daughter's too. The first time she met my Karla she said"Boy your mom waited a long time for you" . I was 37 when i had her.... so Beth knew that my baby was special and shared that joy with me . I am deeply saddened and I miss her already. I am such a better person to have known her when and how i did . My best to her family and to her companion .
We miss you Dr. Wutz

She was a caring physician who had the patience of a saint. The world is a much better place because she was here. I will always remember Beth, she will always have a place in my heart. Our deepest sympathies and condolences go out to everyone who knew Beth, but especially her wonderful family who made Beth the person we all knew and loved.

I was very fortunate to have Beth as my Doctor for the last 7 years. No words could possibly express how I felt about her. She help me when I felt no one else would. She never rush in and out, she would take the time to listen no matter how long it took and would work hard to correct whatever problem you had. She was incredible. the most careing person and Doctor I ever meet. As someone else has writen; God must have needed the perfect doctor. I will truely truely miss her. May god watch over her family and friends during this time.

Dr. Beth was a great person and a wonderful doctor. I've have been seeing her for many years since her office was in Lancaster and I followed her to her others.

To the Wutz Family:
I knew Beth when she was doing her Med-Peds residency and had rotations at the ECMC. I also had the privilege of working with her after she finished her residency and interviewed prospective residents. As everyone before has already mentioned, she truely was a dedicated, caring physician with a VERY BIG HEART! Hold onto all the wonderful memories you have of her. When someone has made such a large impact on the lives of so many, she never really leaves us. God bless you and give you strength during this time of such sad loss.

To the Wutz family,
Dr. Beth was my brother, John's, physician for the past several years. I always was amazed on how much time she would spend with John just talking with him, joking with him -- she was truly a caring physician. Our deepest sympathy is extended to you for your loss. Please know that she will be missed!

To the entire Wutz family and Jackie Dombrowski: I have known Beth since she was a medical student. I worked with her on many occassion as an intern, resident, and as the Amazing Attending Physician she was. She had great compassion for her patients and she had an equal amount of compassion for the Nursing Staff in the MICU/CMICU at Buffalo General. Beth and I shared the same kind of sarcastic wit and traded it and laughed with one another on many, many occassions. No matter how she was feeling HER patients always came FIRST and she did one hell of a job taking care of them and their families. Trust me when I say she will be greatly missed by many both personally and professionally. She was one of a kind. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you especially during this most difficult time. I know she has found peace and serenity and all her angels are taking good care of her now. Peace to all of you. Mary Jane Poloncarz, RN, BGH

Dr. Wutz was so many things to a great number of people. For me, she was a wonderful role model and teacher, a fantastic mentor and confidant, and a gifted, empathic physician. Her loss will no doubt be felt for a very long time in my own heart as well as in those of our community. I will never forget the many lessons she taught me when I was her student, and I will always remember how sensitive she was to the needs of myself and her patients. My deepest condolences to her family and all those who loved her. May her rest be beautiful.

To The Wutz Family & Jill,
Dr. Beth was my 5 year old twin grandchildren, Ethan & Audrey Godfrey's doctor and was a wonder from the start. I went to their appointments with Mom & fell in love with Beth almost immediately. I would come home from their appointments just raving about Dr. Beth to my husband. She soon went from being the twin's doctor to our friend...and what a loyal, dear friend. I hope you'll always understand the imprint Beth left in this world and the many who loved her dearly. Beth was indeed a brilliant doctor but an even better friend, be proud and know that she sleeps loved....Kathie & Michael Davis

Dear family (Jill, this means you too) - I am devastated by the loss of my friend and doctor, Beth. I can't even imagine how you all must be feeling, but you have my deepest sympathy.
Did you ever meet someone who you just knew had the makings of a great friend, but circumstances dictated a different sort of relationship? That's how I felt about Beth. She was so warm, intelligent and wickedly funny, and as my (and later my partner's) doctor she never let either of us get away with any self-deception or "monkey business" involving our self-care. She was brilliant and intuitive, wise and witty and I always felt absolutely safe under her care. Mary and I especially felt privileged to be working with a doctor who respected our relationship, treated us as a legitimate couple and thus as singularly important in each other's well-being.
Beth was always professional in her dealings with patients and didn't talk much about her personal life. She did mention her nieces and nephews with pride. She also said she identified with my concerns for a father with multiple health issues and a tendency to "fudge" a little with his self-care. She didn't talk about her relationship with you, Jill - and I can understand that as a professional who works with patients myself. I just wanted you to know that I can empathize with your terrible loss and I wish you peace and health, along with the rest of the family.

Beth was a great physician, a great woman, a great person. Her commitment to her craft was unparalleled, but more importantly so was her commitment to people and their quality of life. I had spent most of my adult life searching for a doctor who would facilitate care directly suited to my healthcare needs until Dr. Wutz was recommended to me by a friend. I never looked back. She will be missed by many, but NEVER forgotten.
Our condolences to her family and friends. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Dr. Beth has been a Doctor of my families for over 10 years. When I was looking for a Dr. I was pregnant with my twins and a close friend of our family recomended Dr. Beth. Unfortunately I was unable to make the appointment because of false labor but she called me to see how I was and we talked over the phone. I liked the idea that she came to the hospital to see the twins within 24 hrs, so many other Drs had said within 4 weeks. Within 24 hrs Dr. Beth was there and explained to the Dr. at the hospital that my son has a hip click, which nonone else diagnosed. Today he is great and what if I did not pick Dr. Beth, where we he be today. She then became my family Dr., as well as my sisters family, and my parents. She was not only a Dr., she was a friend and a confident. She did above and beyond I will never find such a wonderful friend and Dr. like her. She was one of a kind. My thoughts are with her family, friends, and all her patients, she has touched everyones heart.

My thoughts and prayers go to Dr. Beth's family and friends. Words can not express the sadness of loosing such an amazing person and doctor. Dr. Beth was an exceptional doctor to my two boys, my husband and I. It’s hard to find a person you can trust and feel total confidence in, with regards to the health of your family. However, Dr. Beth was truly magnificent. She will never be replaced. Dr. Beth was extremely knowledgeable. She would always do what was best for the patient. Dr. Beth listened to my fears and concerns with immunizations and respected me for deciding to postpone them. Dr. Beth was sent here to touch the lives of many people and we need to remember all the great memories she has provided. My heart goes out to her loved ones.

I started seeing Dr. Beth about 5 years ago or so then I had to stop due to I lost my health insurance and she was the only Dr. that I truley loved as a person she saved me a few times from ending up in the hospital instead she kept me in her office and gave me treatments for my asthma every so often which mind you I was in her office about 6 hours or so and that is no lie & no Dr. I know would care about there patients that much. The world has lost one of there finest Dr.s when they lost Dr. Beth. She was the only Dr. I know that you could talk to her about anything on your mind and she would make you feel very comfortable. My family's condolences go out to her family and her Loyal friend Jill. The Cummings

Dear Herb,Joan, Fr. Paul and all of your family, My heart is broken for you. I just heard of Beth's premature passing and know it is one of the times when we want God to be accountable right now.
Your family has touched me in so many ways - so long ago at St. G's, Newman Center days and most recently as Beth knowledgably cared for my youngest son with an unusual syndrome. You are a precious family and I pray God walks along side you during this time of grief. Thank you for always being people of faith who modeled and impacted those around you. You will be held close in our prayers.

To the family, friends, and loved ones of Dr. Beth Wutz: My beloved mother, Grace Skingley, was a patient of Dr. Wutz for many years. Mom always had a great respect for her as a doctor; she was always so willing to help Mom go "shopping" for any samples of medecine she might need! It would give Mom such a chuckle! Now they are both pain-free and at peace. May all of you take comfort in knowing that.
God bless you and have faith,
