It is with overwhelming sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Elizabeth “Beth” Colley, who died peacefully surrounded by family, after a courageous battle with cancer. Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing she is now at peace.
Elizabeth Cecilia Colley was the devoted wife of Ronald “Ron,” her husband and partner in life. Together they built a home full of love, family, and memories that will be cherished always.
She was a deeply loved mother to Milissa (Rianne), Samantha (Matt), and Shelley (Stephen), and nothing brought her greater joy than seeing her children happy and knowing they were loved.
Beth was also a proud and loving grandmother to Raedon, Imogene, Hunter, John, Cameron, Mason, and Jayden. Her grandchildren held a special place in her heart, and the love she gave them will stay with them all their lives.
She was the beloved daughter of Elizabeth and sister to Julie, David, and Danny, and their spouses. She was predeceased by her father, James Szuch, and her brother, Jim.
Above all, Beth was a truly kind and loving person. She had a gentle heart and warmth that made everyone feel welcome. She devoted her life to the people she loved, and her family was her greatest joy. Her love was steady, unconditional, and freely given. She will be remembered for her kindness, compassion, and strength, and the beautiful way she cared for those around her. Her family will miss her more than words can say.
Though Beth is no longer with us in person, her love remains in the hearts of her husband, children, grandchildren, family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to have known her. Her memory will live on in the stories we tell, the moments we share, and the love she so beautifully gave.
Rest peacefully, Beth. You will be loved and missed forever.
