You could always depend on Ellabeth to put on a funny hat, or to sing a silly song to lighten up a mood! She was a beautiful person inside and out! She has always been a part of my life and I will miss her.

Nelson and Beth were members of the "Stork Club" with my parents for many years. What fun they had. Also Beth worked for my folks at the flower shop for a long time. I also worked with her there and she always made things fun. She will be remembered as a wonderful, kind person.

"I believe much trouble would be saved if we opened our hearts more" -Chief Joseph. Ellabeth was one of the nicest people I have ever known. My her spirit live on in those of us whose lives were touched by her kindness and generosity.

Aunt Beth was always there when I needed comforting. I would walk down the road, open the door and walk in and say "is there anybody home?" Aunt Beth would be there, dropping everything she was doing and would talk with me for hours. When my Dad died I couldn't stop crying until I talked to Aunt Beth. Once I heard her voice I knew everything would be OK. After my Mom died, the funeral was over and once again I had to get to Aunt Beth. And once again as soon as I saw her I knew everything would be OK and it was. Heather is right. With Aunt Beth we always knew we were loved.
When I close my eyes I can still feel her loving pinch on the cheek and soft, warm hug and see her cheeky, mischeivous smile when I was little. I loved walking or riding my bike down to visit for lunch or a summer afternoon. Aunt Beth always had great stories and anecdotes from her youthful days. With Aunt Beth I was always loved:)
