Heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Please find comfort in knowing that God cares for you.

You will be missed Mother.
You were not only a remarkable, good person and teacher, mom; you were a good friend and a good Mother...

Journey well...see you later...;)

Mrs Bourland was such a sweet lady!! I always enjoyed talks with her and she always made everyone around her feel special. My deepest condolences to her family.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May the fond memories of your loved one sustain your family at this time. May you also receive comfort from what is stated at 1 Peter 5:6,7.

Beth never ceased to amaze me. She was one of the most intelligent women I've ever known, educated, well-read, and well-traveled. I loved listening to her stories about her travels and looking at her photos and the treasures she'd carefully selected to bring back home. I wonder how many others she influenced with her love of travel. She was such an interesting person, with a quiet sense of humor, and I can still hear her laugh and see her smile. Nothing made her happier than when she talked about her children and grandchildren. She was so proud of them! They truly are her living legacy and a testament to one of her greatest achievements, being the matriarch of their family. One thing I'll always remember and admire about her is what an incredible role model she was as a strong, independent, and successful woman. I'll always have warm memories of the times I shared with her and her family at holidays and throughout the years. I am blessed to have known Beth. She was one of a kind, and she will be missed.

Beth will be missed very much by her family and friends. She was a good family friend of my mother's for decades and a wonderful librarian at AHS. My condolences to her sons, Mike and John, and her daughter Gabe!

I knew Beth back in the day from Alton's Unitarian Church and always regarded her as a dear friend. I'll so miss you, Beth.
