A true Survivor, she suffered with polio as a small child and triumphed over 2 rounds of breast cancer. She worked for 47 of her 61 years in this life. Beth was a very loving and giving person to everyone she knew. She was absolutely the Best Mother, Grandma, Sister, Aunt, and Friend anyone could have ever asked for. She was a Blessing to all who knew her. She loved the Lord and her family with all of her heart and she always went above and beyond when asked for anything. Now, at last, she can rest and be at peace. Beth is survived by her daughter, Bonnie Thomas; son-in-law, Donnie Thomas; 3 grandchildren, DJ, Brandon and Malissa Thomas; her brother, Curtis Vail; and many nieces, nephews and friends.
