The heavens above have gained a beautiful angel. If you knew Beth Keenan, then you knew she was a bundle of joy, love, compassion, and fun all rolled into one. A friend to many, regardless of status. A savior to some, as she was always there to lean on. She would empty her pockets if you were in need and do everything she could to make your situation better. And if you were lucky enough to attend a potluck or BBQ, you probably tasted her Bethie Crack (a magical mac 'n' cheese casserole that never had leftovers). She was a RenFaire fan and loved dressing up in her pirate garb and hanging out with her pirate clan.

A few months ago, Steve and Beth made a decision to move from little old Lompoc to be closer to family in South Carolina. They had finally got their feet under them, and she was so excited to start a new chapter in a new home. Things were finally going in the right direction. And then this.

Our hearts and prayers go out to Steve and her family. This has been a trying time for all. I know Steve has a lot on his plate, medical bills, funeral expenses, and then some, and we want to desperately help him with any and all expenses if possible.

If you can donate, thank you. If you are unable, that's totally understandable, and we ask for your prayers.

Beth Keenan, our Bethie, your light will continue to shine in those you have graced with your friendship. You were a great friend, wife, mom, and grandma, and we love you and will miss you dearly.
