Bethlyn was a 1971 graduate of Maysville High School. She was a lover of the state of Florida where she lived for many years. You could always find her drinking her morning coffee with sun-kissed skin. She was a phenomenal singer, drawing in crowds of people to listen to her voice. Bethlyn was a firm believer in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She served him graciously through her kind spirit and the caretaking of all others around her. She never missed an opportunity to be involved in Club Jesus where she prayed over may people and worshiped. Bethlyn had a soft spot in her heart for all animals but especially cats. She leaves behind her cat, Baby.

Bethlyn is survived by her husband of 20 years, Chris Jay Fountaine of Wausau, Wisconsin. Her father, Richard (Donna) Gee Sr. of Zanesville. Her little brother whom she adored, Richard (Erin Arnett) Gee of Zanesville. Her one and only niece who she never missed an event for, Sarah Watts and two great nieces and a nephew, Carmen, Salem, and Crew. In addition, she is proceeded in death by, her mother Edna Craven and her step dad, John Craven.
