Elizabeth "Beth" Wheeler

Ahhh, so nice to see her beautiful face in my email this morning. A wonderful light filled human.

I am so sorry to hear of Beth´s passing. She always seemed like human sunshine to me; she was a radiant and warm person who lifted others up. I know she will be greatly missed by all who knew her, especially her Mancos Valley community.

Beth was one of the loveliest people I'll ever meet. Every time she'd walk in, her smile, laughter, and passion for her students would brighten my little bookshop. Beth was a true gift to so many and I shall miss her greatly!

Laughter and a ready smile. That was Beth in a nutshell. Beth brought joy and fun wherever she was. She leaves a very large hole in our lives, that can be filled only by following her example of love, laughter, and joy.

I had the privilege of spending a week with Beth in Houston over Labor Day. What a gift that week was for me . We laughed, cried and hoped. She was my sister in law and so loved by me and all of our family. Her legacy will live on in our acts of love. We, Davis and Kathy are in awe of the community of friends who embrace and support Beth and Herb. Here are a few great photos of a trip we shared in France just after Beth retired.

Beth always had a smile and kind words. She was an all around beautiful human. We had fun tap dancing together for many years and I am grateful for having known her.
