Beth Debra Ann Brown passed away on Thursday, May 12, 2022 unexpectedly in North Carolina.
She was born August 14, 1952 and raised in Sheboygan, Wisconsin where she attended college before joining the Army as a Microbiologist. She later became an Officer rising to the rank of Major.

Dear Sandi, Amy, and other family and friends of Beth. I am so sorry for your physical loss of Beth. I do find comfort in my belief that we are more than these physical bodies...that we 'make up'/embody All That Is/Loving Awareness, and that we are eternal. I believe that 'they' across the veil are great! And they want us to feel great! And we want to feel better, so we gotta keep reaching for thoughts and feelings that feel good. And some day we will be together and aware. Though I have already gotten signs! :) (Keep em coming, Beth!) I will miss her. I was honored and felt great love that she called me "Sis"! :) I was pleasantly surprised when Beth came back into our lives, closer than ever, after my Dad/Don Wehmeyer passed and Beth assisted and visited with Mom and they had lots of fun together! I send my love out to you all, and BIG, tight, longggggggg hugs, Julie Wehmeyer-Wentz
