Oh Beth so many memories that I will always hold dear. One of the best vacations of my life spending time with you in your homeland. The day you saved that dog in Lake Washington when he had ventured out too far was amazing. Even though for you it was just a quick swim in 56° water. You touched the hearts of many with your openness, willing to listen and supportive nature. Infectious smile & bear hugs. Never to be forgotten!

I knew Beth as a student at Kachemak Bay Campus. She was an inquisitive student and was willing to help other students with projects. She was special. The staff at KBC were saddened to hear of her passing. Caroline Venuti

My condolences to Beth's siblings and family members. I was very saddened to hear about her passing. I knew her as a student at Kachemak Bay Campus in Homer. She took a semester of our Semester by the Bay classes and more recently she finished the CNA program fall semester 2023. She told me she had land in Soldotna and hoped to build a house and move back there to be near family and friends. And hopefully get a job as a CNA. She cat and house sat for me last February. It didn't take long at...

I am so so saddened to hear about Beth. Condolences to all you siblings. I got to know Beth as a student at the Kachemak Bay Campus where I work. Beth started out in our Semester By the Bay program. It's quite intense in the fall with lots of boat trips, beach trips, being an intern and giving a presentation at the end of the semester. Beth worked hard and came back other semesters to take classes. She recently attended our CNA course last fall. I spoke with her in December where she told me...

For over five years I encouraged Beth to consider working for Alaska center for the blind and visually impaired. Finally she left Washington state and joined us in anchorage. We worked together for a too brief period of time and I was grateful to call her a colleague. She was honest and dedicated, providing O&M training to our clients as well as traveling to rural areas to offer that along with low vision assessments. She was glad to be back in Alaska with her family and was able to spend...

Gone too soon! Beth and I had been friends for 24 years. My condolences to you and your family. Rest in peace

Becky, I am so very sorry for your loss. Beth was one of the most sincere, caring persons I knew. I will always remember the evening with you, Beth my daughter, and your mom just laughing until we cried. She always had that effect on people. Rest in Peace, Beth..I know we will meet up again.

Beth and I shared the same profession, and often attended the same conferences. I don´t remember the conference contents at all. What I DO remember is how she kept me in stitches with her hijinks -omg, her infectious laughter!! She was loved by her students, by her colleagues....and by me. My heart goes out to Becky...sending love. What a loss.

The many hours we shared thoughts and heartaches and laughter will always remain close to my heart. Beth always said it best "no worries ". I will greatly miss my beautiful and sweet friend but will continue to embrace life with her amazing energy. My deepest condolences to all who loved her. You guys meant the world to her
