Beth liked to travel with her husband and together they got to enjoy many expeditions. They covered quite a few of the States, Mexico and the Caribbean. But her favorite vacation spot was Hawaii. Beth and her husband lived in Ohio, Arizona and finally Florida. She made a lot of friends wherever she lived. Beth was devoted to her family and enjoyed having people over. No one ever went hungry if they came to eat at her house. She always had a smile on her face and a positive outlook on life. She had a very warm heart and cared about taking care of others. Beth was a former member of Fostoria Church of the Nazarene for many years and attended Findlay Church of God in later years before moving to Florida. While in Florida, they attended Hope United Methodist Church. Beth was a retiree from Honeywell (Autolite) in Fostoria, where she performed many roles as an assembler, shipping, leading the United Way, and as a QC trainer.

There will be a memorial service and burial for her in the spring in Ohio. Date and
