Beth was born April 24, 1939, in Beulah, MI, daughter of the late Harry and Margaret (Sage) Wiggins.

She was a former clerk at Hills and Ames Dept. Stores and was a proud member of the Toronto First Presbyterian Church. Beth was very active in the yarn ministry, crocheting blankets and baby items for others. She was also an accomplished seamstress, using her skills to create beautiful hats and lap blankets for the Teramana Cancer Center.

She enjoyed using her talents to make others happy, especially her grandchildren. Her greatest joy was being surrounded by her family and friends.

She will be deeply missed.
