In Loving Memory: July 18, 1950 – March 26, 2026

Bethea Binkerd, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on March 26, 2026, at the age of 75. Born on July 18, 1950, in Kanab Utah to Harry (Hank) Shaw Bahen and Helen Marr Cutler.

Bethea was also a survivor of downwind atomic testing, demonstrating remarkable resilience in the face of adversity. Her experiences shaped her perspective and contributed to the strength and compassion for which she was so deeply admired.

Bethea lived a life filled with love, compassion, and dedication to her family and friends. She was an accomplished artist and a passionate lover of the arts, finding inspiration and beauty in creative expression throughout her life.

Bethea is survived by her devoted husband, Frank Binkerd; her loving daughter, Helen Hussey, and her weird son Andrew. She also leaves behind a legacy of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, each of whom brought her immense joy and pride throughout her life.

Bethea now joins her mother, Helen and father Hank; her beloved daughter, Phranquee; and her sons, Kelly and Tyler, in eternal rest. She will be remembered for her warmth, kindness, unwavering support, and her artistic talents that touched the lives of many.

Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. The family asks that those wishing to honor Bethea's life do so by sharing stories, reflecting on her impact, and keeping her spirit alive through acts of love and kindness.

Services will be held at Larkin Mortuary downtown; Monday, April 13, 2026 at 2:00 PM. And virtually via zoom at larkin.com

Flowers may be sent through roseshopflowers.com.
