I met Beth with Tricia Igleheart in March of 2017 when she came over to a mutual friend's and spoke with Tricia over an hour concerning brain cancer for Tricia had been diagnosed in the Fall of 2014. Tricia and I were so touched by her openess and bravery and positive outlook. I saw Beth again at Tricia's memorial in April of this year. Such a lovely person and still working hard for herself and others afflicted with Glioblastoma. What a treasure we have lost. My deepest sympathy goes out to all her family.
Sincerely,
Teresa Henry

Beth took an interest in me when I purchased a dress from her to wear in the Miss Lakeside pageant and she coached me on walking in heels and stuff like that - she had been Miss Lakeside in an earlier year and, let's face it, she was the perfect example of beautiful womanhood - smart, caring, thoughtful and beautiful inside and out. I hung on her every word. The big memory I carry around with me from the Miss Lakeside event is not about whether I won or lost - my memory is that she took an interest in me during that moment in my life - I'll never forget that she came backstage before the second half of the competition and gave me a few pointers and smiled that 1000 Wattt smile and squeezed my hand. She made me feel like I could do anything! She was one in a million - When she spoke to you and encouraged you, you felt you were the only person in the room! I only knew Beth mostly from a distance - but my life is richer for having had just a little bit of her sunshine shine my way. I am so sorry for your loss. Patricia Belcher Eastwood

Beth, among the many things I will always cherish and remember most about you, is that almost no matter the circumstance, and particularly as you faced your own health challenges...was that ever present smile. And even when others were facing the comparatively trivial, from you came the encouraging word. The world is a lesser place without you. Bad things sadly happen to good people, you are again proof that doesn't mean you give in to whatever is trying to harm, injure or take you. Admired and loved, here and now in heaven above. Bill Crane, Lakeside Class of 79, UGA Class of 84
