Past Comments

Beth was the daughter of my Dad’s sister, Cathryn Carpenter Brunkhorst. Although she was much older, I have lots of wonderful memories of Beth and her brothers visiting their parents who lived across the street from us. In more recent years, during my mom’s later years, and since her passing, Beth would always give me a call now and then to just say hi, which I thought was so thoughtful. She always had a smile and fun stories to share. I will miss her a lot.

I was a Med Tech colleague of Beth’s at Milwaukee Cointy Medical Complex. I never worked directly with her, but whenever our paths crossed she was always friendly toward me. Once in awhile I would sit with her in the cafeteria during our break times. I found her to be very soft spoken. God bless you Beth for your many years of service! May you now rest in God’s loving peace!

I worked with Beth in the blood bank at Froedtert for a long time. Our history goes back further than that though, she was the education coordinator for the Med Tech students at Milwaukee County Hospital when I came in as a student back I 1987. She always had a lot of stories to tell. She left her mark on many people.
