Beth Taylor, 75, of Kingston, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on November 7, 2025, surrounded by her children. Beth was born on November 15, 1949 in Cambridge to E. Gilman Taylor and Joan (Chapman) Taylor. A graduate of Franklin High School, Beth attended Dean Junior College (Art), Shepard-Gill School of Practical Nursing, and Castle College (Recreational Therapy), but was invariably interrupted by persistent health issues.

Beth had a passion for crafting and taught at various craft stores, which meant she always had just the right items available for school projects. She dabbled in various modes, including Tole painting, cross stitch, and crochet. She loved to do anything creative. She loved baking, always preparing too many sweets for any occasion, and sometimes no occasion at all.

Beth loved to garden. Hydrangeas were a favorite. She loved to watch nature in her backyard – telling us about the squirrels or birds that were visiting and their antics. She also welcomed visits from the neighborhood cats.

Beth adored her grandchildren and "grandpuppies". She lit up when hearing about their activities, especially art and crafting. Some of our best memories are beach days at Saquish as a family.

Beth leaves behind a brother, Eric Taylor, of Sullivan, ME, a son, Jeremy Stashluk of Manchester, NH and daughter, Tamara Morrow of Medford, MA. Deeply mourned by Tamara's husband Ross, and her beloved grandchildren, Elsa, Craig, and Bennett. A dear friend, Elaine, was considered her guardian angel as she visited often to help Beth with anything and was a critical part of Beth's support system.

Beth was more resilient than most could begin to understand. In honoring Beth's wishes, no formal services will be held. Memorial donations may be made to the Humane Society of Greater Nashua, where she volunteered with her children when they were young.
