My condolences to Beth's family on loosing her.  She spoke of you with such love and I would hear stories about you. She was so proud of each of you. Since I was also her client for 13 years she kept professional boundaries  so I wouldn't hear too much! A few sentences, a snippet , a short paragraph of a wonderful time dancing with family over the weekend.  As well as every so often a longer story. Her love of her work and the beyond this earth energy which she brought to her massage work was such an effervescent space to walk into. She healed parts of my body and heart  repeatedly!! And such a community she had! I have 7-8 people in my life who came through her network.

In later years, we're the same age, we often talked about her colleges. She would show me what she was working on. And each would share thoughts about the piece. I loved those times. When she first started creating her colleges she brought photos on her phone to show Cynthia and I, we were celebrating one of our birthdays. I was delighted with the colors, textures, aliveness and compositions. She humbly said I'll charge $300-$600 for them. And I burst out how about $3000-$6000! They are wonderful! And it came to be.  I loved watching how her colleges were so fulfilling. I was sweetly delighted to be a part of it.  She was a privilege to know. She taught me a lot about love and loving. I'll miss her forever and she gave me gifts of how to love living right now and which is precious. Bless you Beth in your journey.

1959, Notre dame High School, Belmont, Ca

 It was 1958, first day of high school in homeroom  with about 30 very nervous young girls receiving instructions from a very stern nun.  All of a sudden, I hear a loud sneeze in back of me and I hear a voice saying while giggling, "I just sneezed into your ponytail."  We both erupted in such laughter. Then the nun saying to us that what was happening was totally inappropriate.  It made us laugh even more. Well,  that was a beginning of a 67 year friendship with Beth Carolyn Baker.  I was the luckiest woman alive to have such an extraordinary friendship and I certainly miss her beautiful and fun spirit.

Our beloved, Sacred Spiritual, Soul Sister Beth has crossed over.  

I miss that tousled blond hair and twinkling  bright eyes and  sheepish grin. She had a huge presence on this earth.  Her ability to see life with a positive vibe was  so captivating. Her Aura was immeasurable.

Beth was an incredible healer who provided, massage, foot detox, facial work, Chakra clearing and more. She taught me so many things about energy work. 

Beth, became a Soul Sister in our special circle of four women. We gathered at my home to share lunch, laughter and conversation about new healing modalities , health concerns , family and how blessed we all were.

We know she is safe where she is and she is soaring through the galaxies dispensing love and joy. Beth is eternal !

She had such a deep love and appreciation for her family. She was so proud and thankful for the wonderful people they had become. Often showing me photos of recent family gatherings.

Peace be with all of you who were blessed to have a relationship/friendship with the sweet SOUL, known as  BETH.

She was such a kind and loving spirit. Such an unforgettable person, a great listener, a compassionate human and a tremendously fun human.

I will miss her dearly.

Beth was the godmother of both my twin brother and me. As the story goes, she begged my mom (Ronnie) to be our godmother. She always told me she knew she needed to have that role in our lives. Beth was the most cherished and special person I have ever known and was my spiritual mentor throughout my entire life. I always felt so privileged and lucky to have such a wise soul teaching me, guiding me and giving me tools to find myself and trust my own compass. I loved Beth immensely and feel so honored and lucky to be her godson. She helped me become the man I am today. Sending you and your family so much love, healing energy and warm hugs! I will miss her so deeply!!! —Beth, Jim, Nick and Zach in picture

My condolences to Beth's family. I first met Beth when she came in for a pedicure service in 2016] and we would often talk about her passion for Healing and spiritual work]. She one day during a pedicure mentioned a man that came to her, she described my father. He passed in 1994.

We then were great friends.

She came for services every 4 weeks.

She was the one that encouraged me to open my own business and help me get in to the more spiritual spa services.

She Inspired me so much and still does.

She was so important to me.

She brought my dad to me in the after life and that is unforgettable. 

I still am grieving and will stay strong and live my best for myself and because of all the knowledge she gave me.

She helped me be where I am today.

Thank you Beth soooo much.

Love Rosemary

Beth and I have shared Palo Alto, CA as a common address --- she, at the time we knew each oher in Florence (1964-1965), I, since Graceann and I moved here with our family in 1983. Now, whenever I go to the main library, the street down which I always drive takes me past 1200 Parkinson (her former address, which I learned about from the tattered roster I saved), and my thoughts always fly to Beth and the great times we and the others shared that year. She was so sweet. I'll sure miss her!
Her Light first of all .. she was almost burning with this Light and with her passion and her depth of knowledge and profound intuitiveness . SO MUCH made her unique . She was the first person i met on my odyssey of a journey here to the PNW. She is one of those rare Beings one has the flashing privilege to know and to love reciprocally.
Beth was one of the first people I met when I arrived at GU.  We became instant friends --she was always such fun --there was never a dull moment with Beth around.  I have loved the times we reconnected as adults.   The years just slipped away, and we were again those young girls gossiping in the dorm or running out the door to a kegger.  The world has lost a beautiful soul and heaven has gained her effervescent spirit.  
Beth was a talented and  creative artist.  She was fun to be around.  Always looked forward to seeing Beth at grandparents luncheon at St. John’s.  Our grandkids are the same age.  Beth made you feel how grateful she was to see you.  Beth is surely missed.
I'm so sorry for the loss of Beth. I'll always think of her whenever I flip through GIF photos. We were so blessed to have that year in Florence. Connie Davis
