Beth Chambers Speth, 88, of Logan, Utah, passed away peacefully Thursday, Dec. 13, 2018.

She was born Feb. 19, 1930, to her parents Addie Watson and Theophilus Chambers Jr. She married Kenneth Carl Speth on July 6, 1949, in the Logan Utah Temple.

She is survived by her six children, Donald (Karen) Speth, Donnetta Bartschi, O'Dell (Terri) Speth, Tonya Speth, Michelle (Jeff) Jacobsen and Deon (Scott) Openshaw.

Her posterity includes 29 grandchildren, 62 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, 11 siblings, Susan Speth and Jalaine Speth, daughters-in-law, and Kody Smothermon, a great-grandson.

Beth, was very industrious and started working at a very young age caring for people and cleaning houses. She was gifted in the art of sewing and perfected her talents as she worked at Bernina Fabrics and then at JCPenneys in the fabric department, She worked there for over 20 years before she retired to take care of her critically ill husband until he passed away. She then spent her time volunteering as a senior companion, as an usher for Eccles Theater and president of the Garden Club. She also received recognition for her dedicated service of 15 years from Logan Regional Hospital.

Her interests included oil painting, knitting, crocheting and making quilts. Her green thumb allowed her to grow exquisite flowers around her yard each year. If you commented on the beauty of her snapdragons you left with snapdragons.

She loved her family and treasured every moment she spent watching her great-grandchildren play with her bucket of toys.

We are grateful for the devoted care our mother received at Maple Springs Assisted Living Center. She thoroughly loved the personal attention she received from the staff and the association she had with the residence through the activities and entertainment. Also, we want to thank IHC Hospice for the great care they provided until her passing.

Our mother loved Christmas time, and we consider It a blessing for her to return home to spend Christmas with her sweetheart.
