I was a classmate of Beth’s since 1st grade through graduation in 1964 from SHHS. I remember her as a very kind person who was fun to be with. My prayers are with her family, with special thoughts to Sue.
So sorry to learn about Beth. She was a well respected teacher and good colleague at MHS.
So saddened over the death of Beth, she was wonderful person and meant a lot to us and our whole family: My heart goes out to my Aunt Sue( Beth’s sister) ; and the family.
God bless to you all:
We are deeply saddened by Beth’s death, but know that she is in heaven with all our deceased relatives.
Beth’s brother/Dan and I grew up together in Salina and are “brothers”, notwithstanding that we’re really first cousins.
Beth and her sister/Sue were like “big sisters” to me. I will always be grateful for their example/guidance/advice.
While I cannot attend in person, I will be watching the service on the streaming service.
Rest in peace, Beth🙏.
I am so sorry to know of Beth’s passing. Besides being a classmate from first grade through the first year of Marymount College, she was a lovely, caring friend. The family has my heartfelt condolences and prayers for comfort.
Sitting in the airport and read of Beth’s passing. Sending condolences to the Kelley, Lyons and Kammen families
So very sorry to hear of her passing. She was such a kind, happy and sweet Lady. Teacher and friend.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. James and Deb O’Malley
I was a student of Beth Kelly in 1969 at Manhattan High School. I think of her often as she was my favorite and most influential teacher I had. She taught me office practice and Gregg shorthand.
