Sewing is the activity she enjoys the most, and for many years, she has had a successful business sewing for the public. She is also an award-winning watercolor portrait artist, and she writes poetry. She takes pride in what she creates, whether it is an original dress design, an emotion-provoking portrait, or a book. She is married and has three sons and two stepsons, whose families include ten grandchildren and step-grandchildren.
Inspired by a strong sense of family history, Beth has researched much of her family ancestry. Her research has revealed ancestors who traveled from England on the Mayflower, ancestors who traveled from Scotland, ancestors who served in the American Revolutionary War, ancestors who fought in the American Civil War, both Union and Confederate. Her parents, brother, and son have served in modern military conflicts with the US Navy and US Army.
She has been captivated and thrilled by some of the dramatic stories she has found in her family research. So much so that she has suggested to her family members that they begin writing their own stories so that current family history and significant events will not be lost from the next generation's knowledge. She recognizes it takes only one generation for a family to forget those life-changing events. Preserved legal documents are valuable for the facts they represent, but the stories written and told by one generation to the next are the priceless insights into their personal experiences. Her writing is intended to preserve and pass these family stories to the next generation.view less
