Bethany's Gift: Inspiring Young Artists

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Bethany Joyelle Clack, a beloved daughter, sister, friend, and bright light in every life she touched. Bethany’s life was a reflection of kindness, creativity, and a genuine love for people. She had an extraordinary gift for making others feel seen and valued, and she poured her heart into encouraging those around her to embrace their own talents and dreams.

Bethany was especially passionate about the arts. She believed that creativity has the power to heal, to inspire, and to open doors for young minds to see the world in new ways. Whether through painting, music, or simply celebrating the beauty in everyday life, she left a legacy of imagination and joy.

To honor Bethany’s memory and the way she lived her life, we are creating this GoFundMe to support art supplies for local schools and students. She often spoke about the importance of giving children opportunities to express themselves through art—regardless of their background or circumstances. By contributing, you are not only helping provide the tools students need to explore their creativity, but also carrying forward Bethany’s spirit of generosity and artistry.

While her time with us was far too short, Bethany’s impact will continue to ripple outward—through every brushstroke, every project, and every child who is given the chance to create because of her legacy.

We thank you for your love, prayers, and support during this time. Your gift helps us honor Bethany in the way she would have wanted: by pouring into the next generation and keeping the light of creativity burning bright.

Bethanys Celebration of Life service will take place on September 12th, 2025 at Kettering Assembly of God in Kettering, Ohio at 6pm.

As a family, we ask that you do not wear black to the service but fill the room with color. Like a true artist, Bethany loved color and we want to honor that.
