When my Dad fell so hard for Beth over 9 years ago, I remember feeling weird about it at first. They had known each other since the 70s and were both married with children. Time split both families apart and they rekindled their friendship over 30 years later. They were married quickly and moved for ministry shortly after that. Their love story was a whirlwind of adventures. Beth treated our family including my mother (my dad's ex wife and her other long lost friend) from day one like family. She had such a delightful spirit about her. A simple card or gesture teared this women up. And her love for my dad was true, deep and genuine. She was his wings. She believed in him and God's calling on his life even when he doubted it himself. My love for Beth grew out of my love for my dad initially but these last few years we formed our own beautiful relationship. When she hugged me and said her goodbyes, her last words to me were something I will carry with me always. Beth, God knows we will miss you and soon we will be joining you at that big table in the sky. I love you

Beth was the best friend I had for 63 years. Yes, we had our spats, but soon got over them. My most favorite memory of Beth was when we were kids. She found a dead squirrel somewhere and decided to have a funeral for it. She stood on a picnic table after getting a balloon and announced that when she popped the balloon the squirrel's spirit would go up to Heaven. Well, the balloon popped accidentally, and oh boy, was she mad!! Her brother Dean and his friend were there and started pointing up at the sky yelling, "There it goes! The spirit is going to Heaven!". She was furious with them! She could be a real spit fire at times. But, she was also the most caring person, too. She and I had so many good times growing up together. Even when we went our separate ways she was always in my thoughts and prayers. She was and always will be my Sister-In-Heart.

Beth Stuart grew up in Addison, New York. A very rural community in upstate New York. She graduated from ACS in 1971 with my
husband Kenneth Lebbon, and my sister Karen Butler Easter. I well remember sitting in the high school auditorium listening to Mrs. Barrow's music class perform on stage. Beth would sing many solos. Beth had a beautiful voice, and was this really kind beautiful person.
I remember after high school Beth working as a lab tech at Corning Hospital, and visiting with her there, just like we had visited many times before in high school, sometimes on her family's front porch, sometimes in just passing.
It is with great sadness that her family now has an empty seat at the table that can never be filled.
May the memories that you shared in the chapters in your lives with Beth sustain everyone of you during difficult times.

I came to dearly love Beth years ago on the worship team at church years ago. She would worship God with full abandon and it was such a joy! She had such a heart for Jesus! I have missed her so much since she left here! I rejoice knowing she is dancing with joy in there presence of her King now! My deepest sympathies to the family because you truly will miss this treasure of a lady and mother God richly blessed you with.

Elizabeth (Bethie) Ratcliffe was the most loving and caring person I ever knew. She was my best friend and companion for going on nine years this December the 8th. My heart cries and breaks for my love, but I know she is where she wants to be. No more suffering or pain just dancing and spinning in the presence of Jesus with her heavenly tambourine. I love her more than life itself. She was in love with Jesus first and her light was felt by those who were in the same room with her. She was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, and friend and always put her family first. She ministered and touched the lives of so many, some who had huge international ministries. Her kids are a testimony to the glory of God, because of her impartation to them they are all in love with Jesus. She was loved by all who knew her. I don't think she ever had a real enemy except the devil himself. She is a mighty woman of God who had many gifts from the Lord that touched the lives of so many. Her prophetic gift was so anointed that it was as if she was speaking from the throne room of God. She had a beautiful voice and loved worshipping Jesus. My first time seeing her in church in the 70s had a huge impact on me as I watched her dancing in circles, playing her tambourine and singing with such an anointing for literally what seemed to be the whole worship service. I see her doing that now in the throne room of God. She never complained about anything, (except for some of the food I cooked, LOL) but she always gave the Lord thanks in everything. I wrote a song for Beth and sang it at our humble wedding and the words are as timely and as precious now as they were then. This is Beth's song...."Words cannot tell how much you mean to me, nor is it known how all this came to be. But when I think of you, my heart is full of love, and my heart longs to be with you, and my heart longs to be with you. I want to be with you forever and a day. My love for you so strong no word could ever say. I want to stand with you through all the lonely nights. You are my love and my life; you are my love and my bride. Memories fade, a new day has arrived. The past fades away as I look in your eyes. All I can see in you is Jesus and his Love, and my heart longs to be with you, and my heart longs to be with you. Though hopes deferred and maketh the heart so sick. When dreams seem to fail and all things seems amiss. When the desire has come a fountain of life it is. You are my fountain and my life. You are my love and my wife, my bride, and my heart longs to be with you. Forever and ever I will Love you!"
