Beth was a graduate of Overton High School and Vanderbilt School of Nursing and Army R.O.T.C. and was an Army Lieutenant and Captain for four years at Fort Gordon. She worked as a neo-natal intensive-care nurse for over 30 years in Augusta where she was quite proud to be a part of Saint Joseph’s and Trinity Hospltals and their births of many babies! Born on July 12, 1966, Beth possessed a fiery spirit despite her petite stature, and her love for dogs and passion for travel were reflections of her adventurous soul. After a distinguished career serving her country, Beth was well known for her strength of character and stubborn resolve, always standing firm in her beliefs. Though she may have been reserved in nature, those who knew Beth recognized her as a true spitfire, unafraid to speak her mind or stand up for what she believed in.
