Beth was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her journey on this earth was one marked by love. Beth’s passing has left a void in the hearts of her family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by her. We ask that you remember her for the way she carried on with life through the good and the bad, and for the profound impact it had on the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Those who knew Beth will remember her for her infectious smile and rare gift for leaving a lasting impact on all who crossed her path.
The Celebration of Life service to honor Beth’s life will be held on at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 28, 2026 in Fairview Cemetery. The Pastor Ruffin Hill will officiate. The family will receive friends following the service at 254 Beston Road, LaGrange, NC 28551.
