January 12, 1930 - July 28, 2018
It is with profound sadness, and a tinge of relief, that we announce the passing of our beloved mom, devoted gramma, friend. Beth was deprived of her memories some time ago, and her memories were rich, full of life, full of love.

Beth was born in Brandon, Manitoba, and after living in Winnipeg until 1970, she moved with her family to the West Coast to continue to devote her life to her husband Glenn and their 4 children. She leaves behind her sons Riley (Joni), Todd (Sue), Reid (Kim), and her daughter Nicole (Peter), 14 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren, and a multitude of friends spread across the country.

Beth had so much love to give and she always let the people in her life know how much she loved them. She loved unconditionally, without pretence, without judgment, always with an open door; the ultimate hostess. Beth's place of joy, her place of peace, was Victoria Beach, Manitoba, where she had a cottage that she maintained over the years and welcomed her family, watched them grow and expand, and will be her final resting place.

We wish to thank the wonderful staff of Peace Arch Hospital who treated our mother, Beth, with kindness, compassion, and dignity, and took such excellent care of her for the past 18 years. We would also like to thank Ruthann Harper, companion, for her love and support of our mom for the past several years. A Celebration of Life for Beth is to be arranged.
