I worked with Bethany for 2 years and I had amazing memories with her . We would always go to the cafeteria at the hospital to eat . She would always get her fries . Bethany was an intelligent person she always knew the answer when I asked her something I didn’t know . Especially her history . She will always be loved and remembered at our office . I know she was a single mom but the way she carried her self she deserved a gold metal ! & I know she loved her kids she would always talk about them . I like this photo of her because I recommended her to go to this beautiful lake . & she sure went with her kids and she told me they all enjoyed it
Tio and tia sorry for your loss wish I could be there could not get day’s off from work my heart and prayers are with you and the family love lorina .
My deepest sympathies for your family’s loss.
It was a joy living across the street from the Chawk’s. Watching Beth grow up. She was very kind and gentle. Beth was protective of Rachel, her younger sister. She grew into a beautiful hard work woman ! We loved her grow and loved watching what she became.
I Love You Prima, I’m going to miss you so much.. God bless you.
So hard for me to imagine losing my daughter at any age & I am so sorry it happened . I know your faith is strong & you will persevere w love of God
Beth and I bonded over Harry Potter, music, sonography and Bernie Sanders when we worked together. My favorite memory together was going to the women’s march with Beth, Maddie and Alex. I know she loved her kids more than anything. I’ll definitely miss her witty sense of humor. I am glad she’s no longer in pain. Love you Beth ❤️
