Beth, age 62, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, June 18, 2019, at her home in rural Park Rapids, MN. Beth was born to Glen and Marian (Stewart) Enos on May 8, 1957, in the Belgian Congo, Ubangi Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Beth was devoted to her career in healthcare. She held various positions as an EMT, hospital and emergency room RN, home health nurse and nurse educator. She also had a heart for her “fur babies.” Beth especially found joy in her crafts, and bargain hunting. But one of her greatest loves and joys in life was being “Nanny” to her grandson Cael. Beth was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Beckman; parents, Glen and Marian; and life partner, Kenneth Wolfe. Memories of Beth will be held dear to her daughter Tahna (Jason) Rurup; grandson, Cael Rurup, all of Verndale; siblings, Mark (Rich) Enos, Rebecca (Patricia) Enos, Marigrace (Joe) Deters and Angie (Peter) Enos; along with numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.
