I knew Beth for the past 10 years. She was always chirpy and cheery, even when she started having trouble seeing. We at Zoo Miami will miss her very much.

We will all be missing her smiling face and sense of humor and all of her bangle bracelets that she so loved to wear. The zoo will not be the same without her.

I'm so blessed to have worked with Beth at the Zoo where she gave it her all. No doubt she's in heaven riding a convertible... one hand on the steering wheel and another holding a martini (since it's okay there). I love you Beth, thanks for brightening my day and enriching my life with your experiences. Everyone at Zoo Miami will miss you dearly.

What a good friend Beth was. I love the photo of her at the Metro Zoo, where she found a wonderful home as a faithful volunteer. May she rest in peace.
