She is survived by her husband of eight years, Chris Friis; sister, Glenna Richardson and brother-in-law, David; brother, Robert Newell; brother, David Newell and sister-in-law, Jean together with nieces and nephews.
As a young adult, Beth gave her heart to Jesus Christ her Lord and Savior joining Youth With A Mission where she travelled the world telling others of Him. Beth became a member of Motis O Dance Theatre in Ontario and worshipped the Lord through her love of dance. Beth relocated to rural Nova Scotia in her early forties and purchased a beautiful ocean front home in Lawrencetown. Beth was a beloved therapist in private practice and devoted her life to the healing of others openly sharing her faith in Jesus inspiring them toward a personal relationship with Him. Beth was very involved in her faith community in Good Shepherd Church, Lawrencetown where she served in many different capacities promoting her love of the dance. In more recent years, Beth had a vision for a new recreational activity in Lawrencetown called the Flying Project which offered persons with physical disabilities the chance to fly on bungee cords giving them greater freedom of movement. Every summer Beth shared her love of dance at the Atlantic Christian Ashram.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held in Good Shepherd Church, Lawrencetown on April 6, 2022 at 1pm. Donations in memory of Beth may be made to Project Colors International, a small non-profit aid society committed to uplifting children, families, animals and communities around the globe.
