Dear family of Beth Neroda. I was looking through North High year book and thought of Beth. I had not heard she passed, but looked her up and discovered this obituary. I'm so sorry for your loss. She was such a sweet person. While I did not know her well, I remember her fondly. So smart, so kind
She loved and lived well. May your hearts always be comforted with fond memories of her.

Mark, Very soon I will be leaving to see my mother.
Beth was a wonderful teacher of General Chem. Never a dull moment with her as she shared her enthusiasm for the sciences, particularly Geology and the smile on her face as she talked about her daughters. Beth continues to reside in my heart.

Loved the picture of Beth, Mark & Murielle (?) (AND in the background, your other daughter Michele (who we lost in 2015). Obviously at a Diamondbacks game together. Two beautiful and kind/loving daughters. You must be so sad David (& whole family/friends). I wonder if Shel would have had the same result since they both had the same cancers?

David (Mark, the girls, & Annie): I just found out about Beth and feel so horrible for you all - you have lost BOTH of your girls Dave - I absolutely KNOW how you are all feeling and am so very very sorry. God has a plan for all of us, including our beautiful daughters (She and Shel are together).

Dear Mark, Annie, David and Beth's beautiful children. I just learned that Beth passed and I wanted to share how sorry I am for your loss. I remember first meeting her through dance at the Casa (she was in high school). Today as I sat next to Annie and David at the Casa, during one of the songs, I could visualize her dancing, joyfully, like I remember her. She had such a kind heart, strong heart and a beautiful presence. As she grew, I loved watching her and Mark parent their children, she was so happy. I'm saddened that she passed and I didn't know, but I'm thankful our paths crossed and I got to know her. May her spirit continue to dance, joyfully, in praise, and faithfully.
Peace and good, Paz y bien, Mary Dolores

I just heard and wanted to send my condolences. Beth and I were classmates and in cheer together at North. We did end up living near each other for a while over 15 years ago near South Mountain. I am grateful for the opportunity to have known her.

My heartfelt condolence to Mark and family. Beth was a wonderful colleague and passionate teacher of Chemistry, and one who embraced me as a friend. She will continue to reside in my heart.
The Dove Release was tear-jerking, but provides peace to know that Beth is in a good place.

Mrs. V was one of my favorite professors at SCC. She was an incredible woman and a wonderful teacher. Her class was always so interactive as you could see her passion and enthusiasm for teaching Chemistry. She really made a difference for the better teaching all of us students. In my heart you will be Mrs. V.
Your student,
Madison

I am so sorry for your terrible loss. I knew Beth from scrip at St. Theresa. She was a wonderful person. She always had a smile on her face, loved her children and her husband and she was a very caring person. Beth will be greatly missed. My prayers are with your family.

I hadn't seen Beth in years but always knew what an awesome woman should would grow up to be. I was always so envious of Dave and Annie and their "low-stress" daughter. She was everything a parent would hope for and more. The world needs more "Beths" and has lost a true gem. My love and prayers seem like little consolation to her grieving family!
