Beth, along with Tom, was a dedicated member of the Mystery Lovers Book Club of The Villages.
Beth also was for many years the keeper of the communication list for “the Weaties,” residents of the Weaton Court area of The Village of Glenbrook, a task that helped keep neighbors in touch.

Beth contributed to a number of charities, most in support of children.

A “Remembrance of Beth’s Life” will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, October 7, in the Silver Oaks meeting room of the Saddlebrook Recreation Center in The Villages.
