Beth Gale Daggett

Julie, I am so very sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a special lady and i will miss seeing her smiling face. Bev. (From PDQ and Sears)

Hello, my condolences to friends and family. I worked with Beth in Madison schools and enjoyed every single moment working with her as our paths crossed. I learned a lot, especially patience and kindness. She was a gentle uplifting soul and helped so many people. Kris Wigdal (School Social Worker)

Julie, Carrie and Families- Dave and I were SO SORRY to hear of your Mom's health struggles. Beth was an incredibly intelligent. stylish, and accomplished woman ---beautiful inside and out! In my opinion, she was one of the premier Speech/Language Pathologists in the State. She worked on many projects such as language sample analysis with Madison Public Schools, and Dr. Jon Miller, UW-Madison, which ultimately benefited children and Speech/Language Pathologists throughout Wisconsin. She was then recruited by me to serve as a Special Education Consultant, with Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District, where she again shared her expertise, patience, and quiet wisdom. After leaving that position she continued working with me (former DPI Speech Language Consultant and Director of Special Education and Student Services in MCPASD) providing Speech Language Program Evaluations and various In-service Programs pertaining to speech/ language development/assessment/language sampling to many Districts throughout the State of Wisconsin. These would help lead to more appropriate diagnosis and remediation for children with language disorders. But on a more personal note, Beth was a wonderful friend. Many, many evenings were spent in her home sharing a glass of wine in front of her beautiful fireplace. We shared lots of memories, and stories--usually ending with sharing information about our daughters and grandchildren. You were her PRIDE and JOY!! She continued her life as a true entrepreneur in the Real Estate and Business world, however, all of you were her true focus. This world has lost a very special woman, but Heaven has gained an angel! We are so sorry to miss the Memorial (we are in Florida) but want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you all.. Sincerely, Barb Leadholm-Damgaard and Dave Damgaard

Beth was an incredibly gifted speech and language clinician. Len Rush, our principal, advised me to get counsel from Beth since she had such extensive knowledge about everything related to educating young children. That was high praise and well-deserved! I frequently called on her expertise and always came away awed by her wisdom, her generosity of time and support, her caring, and her dedication. She shared her personal resources and sound advice. She was an inspiring master teacher and a wonderul colleague. My condolences, Linda Smulka

A mother's love is forever. Nothing can take it from you, but I am sorry your family has lost an amazing woman. Beth and I worked together for several years. I always knew I could count on her knowledge and wisdom to help me with any challenge I might be facing. I loved spending evenings at her beautiful home, seeing what she had done in her garden and listening to her talk about her family. May the memories of your mother's love be with you and comfort you at this time. With love and sympathy. Rosemarie
