    Beth….a long time ago…back in 1968, you were in my 9th grade art class that I student taught at Glenn Jr. High. Because of you and the rest of that small class of great kids that I have never forgotten, I realized that teaching was the right choice for me. You were one who helped me realize what a blessing it was to teach junior high school; and I still remember your enthusiasm, your smile and your spirit. My prayers are with all your family.

  20. Suzanne Wesley says:

    Beth and I worked together for many years at Sony DADC. She was one of my mentors when I started as a newbie graphic artist. We shared a cube for several years and I considered her a great friend too. I hadn’t been in touch since my time at Sony ended and I am still in shock to know she is no longer with us. She was such a beautiful lady, inside and out – so zany, kind, and full of life. I was better for knowing her and look forward to chatting with her again one day in heaven; though I wish God could have waited a little longer to take her ‘home’. May you feel God’s loving arms around you as you grieve your loss.

  21. Harold V. House says:

    My thoughts and prayers are with Beth’s family and friends.

    We lost an angel on earth with Beth’s passing. I will always remember my favortie little cousin. I will cherish the memories of the great times we got to share. Beth, you always meant a lot to me, and to us, over the years because of your cheerful attitude, thoughtfulness and kindness to everyone. You had a beautiful heart to match your beautiful face. I regret how short our time was together on this earth. Undoubtedly , you aquired these traits from your “gem” of a mother. I will always remember our last Christmas. I look forward to seeing beloved family at the services.
    With all my love, prayer and support,

    I attended Glenn Jr. High with Beth. She was a good friend and always kind. We didn’t stay in touch after that, but I have thought of her often and wanted to get back in touch. It is good to let people know how much they mean to you while you can. I wish I had done that. The world is not quite as bright when you know some of the light has left. My prayers are with the Pease family at this tragic time.

    Dear Pease Family,
    My husband, David, and I took care of the Boy Scout Camp for many years. I always enjoyed talking to Beth while she was out mowing your yard and enjoyed meeting and hearing about her canine friends. She was always so kind and caring. I hardly ever read the paper but happened to pick one up the day her obituary was posted. I would have hated not to have acknowledged her passing. She was a very special person, and I feel blessed to have known her. God be with you all and comfort you at this time.
    Most sincerely,
    Brenda Swingley Shannon
