Beth Annette Moser, age 62 of Elwood, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 5, 2022 at St. Francis Hospital in Indianapolis after a blessed life and year-long battle against Leukemia. She was born August 27, 1959 in Elwood, the daughter of Robert and Joan (Summers) Meyer. Beth graduated in 1977 from Madison-Grant High School before attending college. She married her soulmate, John E. Moser, on October 16, 1981 and they shared over 40 years of marriage together. Beth was an accredited Jewelry Professional and co-owner of Moser Jewelers in Tipton as well as the former Elwood store, and she retired in 2021. She also formerly worked at Security Bank in Elwood and Summers Dairy. Beth was a devoted member of the First United Methodist Church in Elwood, and she had a deep Christian faith. She completed the Emmaus Walk and later served on Emmaus Walk teams for others.
Beth took pride in her community and enjoyed seeing progress and improvement. She formerly served on the board of the Elwood Chamber of Commerce as well as the Elwood Y.M.C.A. Beth never met a stranger, and was known for her positive outlook on life. She was a mentor in the Elwood Kid’s Hope program for 10 years and formerly served on the board of the St. Vincent Mercy Hospital Foundation. She was an avid sports fan, and especially liked watching football and basketball. Beth was also an avid reader and enjoyed cooking for her family. She and John enjoyed traveling in the U.S. and overseas for many years. She enjoyed nothing more than planning the next adventure. Beth will be remembered as a devoted wife, mother, and sister. Her large family will miss her deeply.

Beth sponsored me on my walk to Emmaus back in 2004. She worked the weekend of the walk which gave me comfort. I realized later as I sponsored pilgrims how much effort she put forth as my sponsor. I remain grateful to Beth for allowing me to experience this transforming experience.

I don’t have any words right now except, I love my family and I am so heart broken at the passing of my cousin Beth. Beth is an inspiration for me. She would be a shinning example of a selfless existence and faith in the lord our God. Beth was born Aug 27,1959 and I was born Aug. 29, 1955. We have been apart since her birth with my mother and father moving to Arizona when I was 6 years old. Beth Rest In peace and may God bless your family. I am so blessed I could spend what little time we had to share.
Your Cousin,

Beth and John are both two people who you can always count on to do the right thing. Working with Beth, she always used the phrase "at the end of the day, will your conscious allow you to sleep?" She was always a positive person and believed in "it is what it is". I will miss our Wednesday text messages and sneaking you white chocolate peppermint lattes. Until we meet again my friend, Carol and Bobby

I am so very sorry to hear of Beth’s passing. We had recently reconnected on Facebook where we chatted back and forth about LeeAnn Morgan. She was so jealous that I had a personal birthday video from her -we had quite a laugh about it. In high school she was one of the sweetest people and I am sure she continued that through her adult life. To her friends and family - I am

From Day 1 of arriving in Elwood, Beth was a welcoming friend to our family. We enjoyed her laughter after basketball games and in church. Every time I would see her it was as if not a day had passed between us. The necklace I wear everyday, which she put in my husband's brain to get me for Christmas in 2006, is my absolute favorite (somehow she just knew). Love and hugs to the family.

We will always remember putting the large chalked arrow on our driveway that pointed the way home for Beth and John. Knowing Beth was a wonderful blessing for us, and we praise God that she is now "Home" in the presence of her loving Savior, Jesus. She was a delightful upstairs neighbor. Her tasty dishes, fun-loving ways, and infectious smile and laugh will never be forgotten.
