Beth Speicher

Beth was a lifelong partner to Mackenzie “King” Speicher, mother to Leigh (Rob), Kevin (Donna) and Shawn (Kevin); Cherished grandmother and great-grandmother to Thom (Kate) and Connor, Korey (Cindy) and Oliver, Edward (Meghan) and Elizabeth, Aaron, Reed, Zach, Troy, Caitlin (Kevin) and baby.

She was born to Burton and Dorothy Ball, and a sister to Keith, Douglas and Lois. Born in Bracebridge and raised in Milford Bay, her life journeys took her beyond Huckleberry Rock, relocating several times throughout Ontario and returning full circle to Muskoka. With every move across the province, she was the strength and balance for her family.

Beth especially enjoyed watching all eight of her grandchildren play hockey and was a familiar face in many arenas. She was an avid reader, knitter, sports enthusiast and would follow the political election results from any part of the country, usually with a strong opinion. One of her most cherished pastimes was to trace the family history of those who have gone before us.

Her doors were always open to friend and family, and the smells of freshly made pies and butter tarts were commonplace. One of the important lessons of life, is that a fruit pie will only be successful if it boils over.

Beth will be dearly missed, but as her final farewell in her 91st year, she would say “I’m outa here”.
