The Funeral Service will be Saturday, August 28 at 11am. There will be no graveside service at this time. The family wishes to acknowledge the current increase in concern over the Covid pandemic and the impact it has on all our decisions to gather in public places. We have decided to have these public services for those that feel comfortable enough to attend, but we fully understand and appreciate the concern of those who decide not to attend. We know that you all are with us in heart and spirit no matter whether you are physically able to be present. In order to help facilitate a wider participation, the Funeral Service at 11am on Saturday will be live streamed from the Northside Christian Church Facebook page. You can view the service from the following link. https://www.facebook.com/northsidechristianga The family is asking that in lieu of flowers, you might consider a gift to one of the ministries dear to Beth’s heart. One is her home church. The other is the Christian campus ministry at Auburn University. Both were a big part of her life.
