Beth's loyal dog Nikko was more than a pet; he was her best fur friend. Together they shared companionship and adventures, embodying the joyful spirit that characterized Beth’s life.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband Michael Callahan and her cherished parents Ray and Lorette Haralson. This loss is deeply felt by those who remain. In her absence, family and friends find solace in recalling Beth's laughter, her generous spirit, and the love she freely shared.
