Not sure what to say?

3/21/2024 Now that I'm back home in Juneau ... I just recently forwarded Beth's obituary to Catholic Community Services for Beth's history with them. Those that I've spoken with "don't go back that far" with CCS. She was a major player in the achievement(s) in Senior Citizen concern(s) in SE Alaska.

Beth was one of my very first contacts as I began the process of developing a formal Elderly Program for Tlingit & Haida Central Council in 1980. Our discussions were many, and her insights of the various needs of the elderly conveyed to me were invaluable. I've often thought of Beth over the years ... and to her loved ones left behind ... please accept my sincere condolence for the memorable acquaintance of a special lady in my hometown. As I've thought about returning back to Juneau ......

Beth will be missed by me and my family.

Beth was such an important part of my growing up. I am so grateful for her in my life. Rest In Peace wonderful woman.

My sincere condolences to all family and friends of Beth Bishop. From reading her tribute, you can tell she was an amazing woman who touched many lives.
