Following a shocking diagnosis of ovarian cancer in September 2017 Beth fought this devastating disease with the dignity and grace that we had come to expect of our beautiful Beth.  After chemotherapy and major surgery we thought she had beaten it.  Sadly, after further surgery to find the cause of continued pain it was found that the disease was back and was now terminal.

Beth tried to stay at home with the help of the St Elizabeth Hospice nurses, family and friends but found the security and comfort that the inpatient care at the hospice provided was what she needed at a very anxious time.  Beth stayed at the hospice for six weeks and passed away peacefully surrounded by those who love her.  The hospice continues to provide support to the friends and family as they come to terms with Beth’s passing.
