Beth A. Berge

I had the great pleasure of being Beth's hygienist for many years! You learn so much about a person during those routine visits, not just tooth related but also about that person and their family! During one of those visits, I learned that Beth loved to quilt............Well..........many years ago I started a patriotic wall hanging quilt project which I struggled and struggled with and eventually gave up on, put it all in a bag and threw it in a closet.........I forgot about it for probably 10 years....... Two years ago as I was cleaning out closets in preparation for a move, I came across the bag of quilt pieces and material. I brought it to work and at Beth's next dental appointment I unloaded the bag of frustrating quilt pieces onto Beth in hopes that she had a use for it or that she could repurpose it. I totally forgot about it. Three months later at Beth's next dental appointment, she walked in and handed me a bag......in it was the finished patriotic wall hanging, ready to be hung on the wall....it was BEAUTIFUL❗❗❗She brought me to tears😢 What a kind thing for her to do. I will cherish my many memories of Beth and that quilt always. My heart aches for your sweet family. RIP .....You will be so missed❤Jayne

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Bob, Blair and Paige, as you grieve the loss of your wonderful wife and mother. Ruth and Lones Smith

Rob, I'm sorry for your loss.

Sending prayers to Rob, Blair and Paige and the entire Parrell family. I had the honor to work with Beth at DVA. She started working at DVA when she was pregnant with Blair. She was a great co-worker and friend. She made several baby quilts for employees. She would bring in patterns and we would all help her decide which one she should make. I was also a recipient of several quilted items which I will cherish. She was so talented and crafty. Beth loved talking about her family, the trips her sisters and mother went on and her new grand baby, Lydia . Working with Beth for 20+ years I felt like I knew her entire family (which is a lot of people). We had so many, many conversations, I will miss her. I love this quote from Helen Keller and I hope you do to: “What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, For all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” - Helen Keller God Bless, Debbie Trieloff

I am so sorry for your family's loss. I remember Beth from when I was a kid, going to hang out with all of the kids, sometimes walking from our farmette down to the Parrell family farm, or riding bikes, or whatever. I loved hanging out with such a large family. You all have my deepest sympathies and you are in my heart.
