Beth Stack Obituary

Published by Gebhart Funeral Home - Claymont on Jul. 24, 2016.
Beth Ann Stack, (nee) Lejman, age 58, of Wilmington, DE formerly of Philadelphia, PA passed away on Sunday, July 24th, 2016, peacefully with family beside her. Beth attended and graduated Sun Valley High School, Brookhaven, PA, Class of 1976. She then went on to become an Office Manager in the Insurance and Real-Estate fields out of Philadelphia, PA for thirty plus years. Beth's passion for music and the arts started from the early age of seven. Beth was skilled in playing the organ, keyboards, clavinet, trumpet, and guitar. Throughout her twenties in the 1980's, Beth was a major contributor to the Philadelphia music scene playing in several bands, starting out with Blu Beth and the Gentleman Caller, The Heathens, and last but not least, the world famous and highly innovated The Stick Men. In her later years, she enjoyed fine cooking, entertaining and throwing parties, remaining active in the Philadelphia music scene, going down the shore, her love for modern art, home décor, being a fan of the Philadelphia Phillies, spending time with her beagle dogs, Boney Snoots and Auggie, and spending as much time with her friends and family. Beth's larger than life personality, her out of this world and sarcastic sense of humor, and her loving and caring heart touched the lives of so many individuals from all walks of life. Preceded in death by her father, John S. Lejman; her best friend, Sky F. Kishlo. She is survived by one daughter, Lucille V. Stack; mother and stepfather, Dorothy J. and Thomas H. Latch; her boyfriend, Christopher P. Chudzik; her best friend, Diane S. Fink; and her niece, Colleen C. Corson. A Viewing will be held on Saturday, July 30th, 2016 from 9:00am-10:00am at Gebhart Funeral Home, 3401 Philadelphia Pike, Claymont, DE 19703. A Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 11:00am at St. Helena Catholic Church, 602 Philadelphia Pike , Wilmington, DE 19809. Burial will be private at SS Peter and Paul Cemetery, Springfield, PA.

It's crazy to think of a life without you in it. Every childhood memory I have invloves you in some way. I'm so sorry I wasn't there at the end and I'm so sorry that after moving I wasn't around much. You will always be my favorite person and the laughter we shared will never fade. Thank you for raising my best friend and please always be there for my children I love you Mrs. Beth.

My heart is broken hearing of Beth's passing. I am literally in shock over this news. I haven't seen or spoken to Beth since I was a teenager and Lucy was just a baby..back when her grandmother would babysit her..and as she got older. Then life happened and people moved on and lost contact with each other. I hve never forgotten what a beautiful fun loving and full of life person she was. I have many wonderful happy memories of her and her family. She used to make sucb a delicious pasta salad and I still make it to this day. May God bless the family and please know you are always in my heart..thoughts and prayers. ♡

I was so heart broken to hear this sad news. My condolences to all. What great memories I have of all of us girls hanging out. Beth was such a great person, full of love, life, and energy. She was always smiling and had such a great one too. The video and pictures were a great representation of her.

My thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time.

With love,

I'm so sorry to read this. We shared rehearsal space and played shows together back in 1980 and she was such a delight to be around. What a great talent and spirit.

I worked with Beth at MAC for a number of years. She was the best at what she did, with no nonsense. I have many memories of her and her love of life. She will be missed.

It was the 80"s and everything was new and experimental and crazy wonderful insane. Beth was in the Stickmen and in all honesty i was in awe of her. Complete and utter awe. She was so bigger than life.. years later while attending a reunion show of another band with her bestie Diane I had the pleasure of really meeting Beth (and her lovely daughter) Beth was even more amazing and wonderful to me. She actually made it a point of sending me the DVD of the Stickmen show and a t-shirt. i think i told her that night that she always impressed me. I know she had battled cancer and she did with with grace. However she raged on and was one strong woman who i have to say was even more amazing years later than i remember as a younger girl. Beth really was the real deal. i am so happy i got to "re-meet" her, to of met her daughter i am so very very honored i was able to experience her in the "best" years as well as my later years, her presence really was a part of my life. Thank you Beth for the most wonderful of memories. Teri

Lucy it is easy to see that you had a wonderful mother, not just by the beautiful obituary that was written but by the person you are. You are funny, smart and caring, she will always be with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I haven't seen Beth Ann since high school but I remember her fondly. We used to throw snowballs at cars together from her house on Brookhaven Rd., even when she was on crutches with a broken leg. We had a lot of laughs, she had such a sense of humor. We reconnected on FB a few years ago and I have been praying for her ever since. She fought a good fight. From reading her FB it seems as though she lived life to the fullest. She was blessed to have a daughter whom I'm sure she adored. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope the memories of Beth Ann will comfort you.
