Life story

Beth Michele Lawrence, age 39, passed away unexpectedly in her sleep. She is survived by her father and mother, Larry and Glenda Lawrence of Christiansburg; sister and brother-in-law, Jill and Trevan Zosel of Bothell, WA.; her much loved niece and nephew, Toriana and Bryson; her paternal grandparents, Marvin and Ramona Lawrence of Blacksburg; numerous aunts and uncles; 12 special cousins, one of whom was extra special to her, Takara Howard. We would also like to thank Rebekah Hall who has been her caretaker and friend for the past three and a half years. Rebekah helped Michele with her chores and took her out into the community for activities which Michele enjoyed. Rebekah always came in with a smile and Michele loved her so much. Michele endured many health issues in her lifetime, however she kept an upbeat attitude. She had a big heart for children and animals and most importantly she loved and trusted her heavenly Father. In lieu of flowers, donations in Michele's honor may be made to Intellectual Disabilities Agency of the NRV, P O Box 42, Christiansburg, VA 24068.

Happy Birthday, Michele!

Remembering Michele on what would have been her 46th birthday tomorrow. She loved with a big heart and without bias. Thinking today of some of her "favorites" ... animals in general, especially pandas and dolphins, cheesecake with strawberries for her birthday after a family supper at the Kabuki, snuggling with babies, GAP hoodies, fishing, shopping. She also liked sharing her faith with friends and co-workers. After so many challenges it's comforting to think of her resting in the peace of God eternally, rather than living in the turmoil of her physical body. But, we still miss you, Michele!
