Beth (Lynn) Boehler, 89, was welcomed into the arms of our Lord and Savior on January 17, 2012 at Bridge Hospice, Findlay, Ohio. She suffered a short illness preceding her death. She enjoyed a full life with family and was thankful for her independence in retirement. Formerly a long time resident of Bellevue, she lived most recently in Fremont.

She worshipped regularly throughout her life at Trinity Lutheran Church, Monroeville, and most recently at Harvest Baptist Temple in Clyde.

She was a loving and dedicated wife to the late Melvin Boehler. She was also a loving and caring mother to daughter Cathy Hollis (Noble), Fremont; and son Rick Drake (Pearl), of Springboro, Ohio, as well as five grandsons and two granddaughters; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; and sisters, Ruth (Lynn) Ralston and Margery (Lynn) Lowry; and brothers, William Lynn and Cecil Lynn.
