Beth was kind, funny, intelligent and just a super colleague! I will miss her laughter, smile, and ability to cut right to the heart of the matter - whatever it was! Rest in peace, Beth! You are missed.

Had the pleasure of meeting and working with Beth at McLaren many years ago. She gave me my first opportunity to work in finance. She was so intelligent and worked so hard to get one of McLarens new companies up and running. Rest in peace Beth! My prayers are with the family, may the Lord give you peace.

A brilliant mind, a kind heart, a passionate defender, a worthy opponent of banter....these are just a few of the things that describe my dear friend Beth. I'm going to miss you tremendously but your spirit will be with me every time I watch a MSU game, drink a margarita, and follow current events. You truly were always on my side and for that I will be eternally thankful. I'm better for knowing you. You will be forever in my Love you Beth

My dear big sister BB. You were taken from us so quickly and I still cannot believe you are no longer with us. You were such an amazing sister to me and our go-to person in the family. It feels like we’ve lost the captain of our ship. You will always be in my heart and I will miss you forever. Godspeed sis. I know you’ll totally crush it in heaven.
