    So sorry to hear this news. Mary Beth was a New Richmond Northsider friend, both growing up on N. 3rd Street. We felt well protected in the neighborhood as her father was the New Richmond Fire Chief and they lived next door to the Chief of Police! My sincere sympathy to her family.

    I have fond memories of Marybeth and her family. We went to school and church together. Marybeth was a bridesmaid in my wedding. Her dad (Wade) was fire chief in New Richmond. We had many fun times together. She had a life well lived. She so loved her husband, Mike, and his family. Love you my friend.
