Anna Beth was the best supervisor I ever had. Her presence was unlike any therapist I had met. She believed in me and helped me work with clients in meaningful ways. Even though I have not seen seen her in over 20 years, I am so sad she is gone. She is one of the people who truly made a difference in my life.
I loved having the opportunity to get to know Anna Beth while I was a student at VT. She had such a beautiful presence. She had a unique way of showing people that she saw them and cared for them. Wishing comfort to all who are missing her. 💛
April 16 2007 the worst day of my life and my family. We lost my son Jarrett. This is were we met. Anna Beth, was there when we needed her. Sometimes just to listen. My family and I are so very sorry to hear of her passing. Our hearts are heartbroken for her family. Sending our love and prayers to her family.
Mrs Benningfield was my English teacher at Strickland Jr High. She and Mrs Downey had basement classrooms next to the cafeteria and it was a great setup to be amongst the first in line at lunchtime. I count myself lucky to have had her as a teacher. Sincerest condolences to her family and may she rest in peace.
