Beth loved being a "fur mother" to her dachshunds, and was an avid collector.  Some of her favorites included Barbie, Snoopy, Hello Kitty, dolls, and Hallmark ornaments.  Beth also enjoyed sewing, quilting, crafting, reading and antiquing.  Beth particularly loved the thrill of the hunt to find a deal she couldn't pass up.  Beth looked forward to and enjoyed spending time with family and friends.

Beth will be dearly remembered as a loving sister, sister-in-law, aunt, great-aunt, niece, cousin, step-sibling and step-daughter.  She will be forever loved by her family and friends.
