Beth Branson

Beth Branson, age 88, passed away peacefully in her sleep on November 18, 2025, at The Willows at Springhurst in Louisville.

Beth grew up in Maysville, Kentucky, and graduated from Maysville High School. She is a happy graduate of Disney University and was especially proud to graduate from Sullivan University later in life as a grandmother of six.

Her happiest years with Dick, her beloved husband of more than 63 years, were spent at their dream home in Doe Valley, Kentucky, where deer roamed outside their window each day. Together, they traveled the country in their RV, visiting 48 states! But above all, Beth's greatest joy was found in making Dick laugh.

Beth was an unusually warm and loving person and saw the beauty in people, nature, art, reading, eating out, and traveling. Her true gift was how she made others feel. Her friendships were deep and meaningful and lasted everyone's lifetime. Whoever was with her always felt special and welcomed by her. Everyone always had the feeling that Beth loved and cared for them. She was kind, considerate, thoughtful, and loving. She was always sweet and pleasant to be around and never had a negative word about others.

She was preceded in death by her husband Dick, parents, Joe and Mary Silverman, and her sister Phyllis.

She loved her family with all her heart and is survived by three children, Shellie Branson (Ralph Green); Dennis Branson (Cherie) and Jerry Branson; six grandchildren, Jordan Green (Abby), Alex Green, Eric Green (Jae), Zachary Branson (Lyanne), Christopher Burke, David Branson and Sam Branson; three great-grandchildren Genevieve Green, Rhodes Green, and Elena Branson-Valdez; a dozen exchange students and foster children she embraced as her own, and countless cousins who universally cite her as their favorite relative. It felt good just being in her company.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday November 20, 2025, at Herman Meyer & Son, Inc, 1338 Ellison Ave., at 3:00. Interment will be held privately. Visitation will begin at 2:00 PM until the time of service. Memorial gifts may be made to Cantor David Lipp's Discretionary Fund at Congregation Adath Jeshurun in Louisville and Hosparus Health of Louisville.

May Her Memory be for a Blessing.
