She was a stay at home mom and was her children’s number one supporter for their sports and extra curricular activities. She always put her children and grandchildren first!

She was a great friend, compassionate and had a heart of gold serving everyone around her especially those of lesser circumstance than her.
Beth’s hobbies were watching and following the Utah Jazz, BYU Cougars and other sports teams. Beth was an amazing seamstress and loved making quilts for her grandchildren and for her ward members who were having babies. She always had a quilt in process at all times while she was able.
