FERKRANUS, Elizabeth Challis (nee Dewhirst) – Beth lived 43 short but wonderful years. During her lifetime she married Derek, the love of her life, and spent 20 years with him. They had two incredible daughters, Emma and Isabelle, who filled her heart with joy. She was the daughter of Dick and Gretchen Dewhirst who raised her to be the kind, giving and inspirational woman she was. She was joined in life by her sisters; her constant companions and best friends, Kate Myers (Alec), and fellow triplets Kit Woods (Mark) and Erin Martin (Matthew). She was blessed with a loving in-law family which included parents-in-law Edith Dewolde and Chuck Ferkranus and sisters-in-law Lorissa, Andrea (Jay) and Alaina (Cam). She was a fun-loving aunt to 11 nieces and nephews and an inspiration to so many others through her work as a teacher at Huron Heights, her volunteer work with LGBTQ youth, speaking engagements with Positively Kind and was a kindness ninja! She will be missed by every member of her large extended family and the many communities of which she was a part.
