Dunwoody, Georgia - Beth Tutan Kundert of Dunwoody, passed-away peacefully on June 2 at age 64 from complications of type-1 diabetes. Beth was born Aug 8, 1956 in Coral Gables, Fl. Early memories include summers spent at the Jersey Shore with aunts, uncles and cousins from her mother's family. She loved walking on the beach, swimming and boogie boarding with her sister. Beth was always in a pair of flip flops, even in the winter!
An excellent student, Beth graduated from Westminster Christian School in Miami where she was a cheerleader and Clemson University where she was a "Bengal Babe" and member of Chi Omega sorority. Following graduation she worked for all of the "Bells" —Southern Bell, BellSouth and AT&T in various training and marketing positions.
In 1990, she married her soulmate, Glen Kundert. She and Glen lived in Washington D.C., London and Bristol, England and finally back to Atlanta during his 35-yr career with Southern Company. During their 3-years in England they travelled throughout Europe including France, Spain and Germany. Among the highlights were visiting the D-Day beaches in Normandy and seeing Haley's comet light up the sky on a dark night in rural southwest England. Beth loved plants and flowers and one of her fondest memories was taking her parents to the Chelsea Flower Show in London.
Upon Glen's retirement in 2012, they spent summers at their second home in Panama City Beach and winters with Beth's parents in Coral Gables. Beth fought a courageous 55-yr battle with type 1 diabetes. Always a fighter, she refused to accept any limitations in her activities or lifestyle.
Beth was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Mildred Tutan. She is survived by her husband, Glen, of Dunwoody, Ga. and sister Cathy Eller (Buddy) of Amelia Is, Fl; nephews Chuck Eller (Ashley) of Buford, Ga and Cam Eller of Denver, Colo.
