Help Honor Beth Elias' Memory

Today, we honor Dr. Beth Elias’ remarkable life and celebrate the immeasurable joy she brought into our lives. Beth leaves a legacy of excellence, innovation, compassion, and a profound way of touching hearts, reminding us of the power of love & connection.

Beth possessed a rare combination of compassion and empathy, always ready with a listening ear and a comforting word. Her ability to make others feel seen and understood created deep connections and lasting friendships. She will be dearly missed.

Beth is survived by her husband Steve, with whom she shared a love of animals, family, and friends.

If you knew and loved Dr. Elias, please consider donating to this GoFundMe in Beth’s memory. We are raising funds for the Friends of Homeless Animals near her home. We are seeking to raise at least $150, after which an engraved brick honoring Beth will be added to the path into the shelter.
