She spent her later years enjoying visits to her family home in Santo, Texas and in her happy place, New Orleans, Terry’s hometown.

In their four plus decades together Beth and Terry traveled the entire continental United States and into Mexico and Canada. They often went tent camping and enjoying

Beth’s one pot meals.

Beth was known and loved by her many friends and relatives for her cheerfulness, generosity and a heart as big as Texas. She never met a stranger and had a way of making everyone laugh at her many stories. Many regarded Beth as “best friend”. she will be remembered for uncountable little acts of kindness and friendship as well as her wonderful laugh.

As Beth wished, she will be cremated and her ashes interred in Magnolia Cemetery on Montrose between West Dallas and Allen Parkway. At future date, probably midJanuary, there will be a celebration of her life at a soon to be announced location.
