attended the Iowa Falls schools and graduated from the Iowa
Falls High School with the class of 1975. She then went on
to earn a Degree in Psychology and Sociology from Iowa State
University in 1979.
Beth’s caring spirit led
her into a career that consisted of helping others. Most
recently, she was employed as a teacher at Quakerdale in New
Providence. She also enjoyed working part time at the Super
Wash in Iowa Falls. Beth recently commented to family
members that instead of being a job for her, it really
provided her with a great source of therapy. She looked
forward to seeing the people who came by for a car wash
(even those who really didn’t need it!).
All who knew Beth found
her to possess a very big heart, always giving without
expecting anything in return. She privately volunteered much
of her time to the care-giving of special people who entered
her life. She enjoyed being a Sunday School teacher for 18
years, Girl Scout Troop Leader, homeroom Mom and serving on
the Iowa Falls School Board.
She is survived by her
three daughters, Annie Marie (Ryan) Peyton of Urbandale,
Molly Jean Bolton of Des Moines and Rebecca Sue Bolton of
Cedar Falls; her parents, Cecil (Lou) and Estelene Jennings
of Iowa Falls; two brothers, Rick L. (Cindy) Jennings of
Iowa Falls and Randy (Joan) Jennings of Iowa Falls; and her
boyfriend, Rocky Woods of Iowa Falls.
She was preceded in death
by her maternal and paternal grandparents; and one sister,
Rebecca Jennings.
