She was a member of Swannsylvania Baptist Church and loved her church family. While in good health, she was an avid worker in the Food Pantry, served on the Fellowship Committee, Bereavement Committee, and attended WMU. She also played the piano at Swannsylvania Baptist Church. She loved the Lord and had a strong prayer life. Her Christian faith led her to visit the ill and less fortunate, and she enjoyed her mission work. Beth made a great impact on many lives through her Christian faith and she will be greatly missed. She no longer suffers, and has now joined her Father in Heaven. Beth was previously active in the Democratic Party, and she served on the Election Commission from 1994-2008.
