    Hugs and prayers for peace and comfort for Beth’s family. She loved you all so much and was so proud of all of her grandkids especially. She was such a special lady. Tiny but mighty is how I will always remember her. She was such a great role model for me in our work with DYS. I will miss her.

    I first worked with Beth over twenty years ago, and continued doing so until her retirement. She was a person of integrity and did her job ethically and efficiently. She cared a great deal about the education of some of Missouri’s least fortunate students. Beth always provided time to ask about my family and how they were doing. I really thought a lot of her, as I am sure you do, too. May the Lord provide comfort to each of you during this difficult time, and may you rest in the understanding of peace that only comes from HIM.

    May our Lord Jesus Christ provide comfort and peace of heart to Beth’s family in whom she loved so dearly. It was such a privilege to have known and worked with such a kind, compassionate, Christian lady who loved our teachers that worked with students who have special needs. Not only was she my DYS Educational Supervisor at GRTC, she was also my mentor and a dear cherish friend who encouraged me, laughed with me, and helped me with the Missouri Council of Exceptional Children’s Special Education State conferences, Because of Beth’s passion for quilting, she rekindled my love of embroidery which led me to embroidered a baby quilt for my first granddaughter. Since we both loved to garden, loved our husbands, and grandchildren, we always had much to talk about. Beth, you will truly be missed but your memories will live on in my heart.

    Your friend in Christ,

    Martha Crabtree
