Beth Ann Shell

On Tuesday, July 29th, the unimaginable happened; my dad lost his wife, and I lost my mom. Beth Shell was simply the best! The best partner and wife for 50 years, the best mom for 36 years, the best daughter and sister, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt, friend and so much more. She was the most beautiful person, inside and out; your biggest cheerleader and the kindest, sweetest, loveliest soul you ever met. She loved everyone in her life ferociously and poured her heart and soul into her home and gardens. She found so much joy in reading, puzzles, trying new recipes and restaurants, going on road trips to new and favorite places, spending time with family and friends, and loved all-things nature. She was the strongest person I've ever known, never letting MS or anything else stop her from living her life to the fullest. She was the most amazing woman, and these words can't even begin to touch the surface of who she was or what she meant to those around her. We couldn't have asked for a better wife/mom out there! We love her with everything we have and will miss her every day but find comfort in her new peace, knowing she's with her dad and other loved ones.

We thank those who reached out in the early days and gave condolences and support.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 23rd with more details to come later.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made, in her honor, to MSAC, who have provided so much help and support to her and my dad these past years.
