Beth graduated from the Scarborough General Hospital, Nursing Program and, in her career, advocated for the care of the elderly. Later in life, her hard work, positive attitude and dedication in her position at Durham Kia, allowed her to become one of the top finance service managers in the country, after being recognized as one of the top in the industry. A beautiful person with a generous, loving heart whose greatest joy was spending time with her family and pet Gracie. Beth's infectious energy, humor and warm personality, shined bright with her amazing smile. She showed positivity, kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity in every aspect of her life. She loved shopping, bling and working in her garden. Beth's faith, in God and her church, gave her the strength to forgive others and to find true happiness in her life.

Should you go first and I remain, One thing I'd have you do: Walk slowly down that long, lone path, For soon I'll follow you. I'll want to know each step you take That I may walk the same, For some day down that lonely road You'll hear me call your name. OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY A wonderful person, friend and aide, one who was better God never made. And have you gone, forever gone and left us here to weep. Till we are called to follow you, and in the grave to sleep. Time may heal the broken-hearted, time may make the wound less sore; but time will never stop the longing for the loved one gone before. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep, I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.
