She attended Hockaday School in Dallas, Texas from elementary school to high school and graduated in 1999. She graduated in 2003 from Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA. with a bachelor's degree in business. She was offered a job in the finance department and worked there while she earned an MBA degree from Pepperdine. After finishing college, she worked for a short time at J C Penney’s Co in Plano, TX. She then secured a position at PepsiCo in Plano, TX in 2007 and worked there until her illness was diagnosed Thanksgiving of 2022.

Beth began to play piano when she was three years old. She had a natural talent that held her interest all the way through high school. She gave a solo piano recital at Hockaday her senior year. She enjoyed singing and sang with a group that led worship in her youth group at church. She was a member of the Hockaday High School choir and traveled to Austria her senior year with other seniors and sang in several locations in that country.

Beth was good at math and had an interest in business. She became a financial analyst and held several positions in the finance department at PepsiCo and had secured a position as a Senior Director of Finance by 2022. She was well-liked by her peers and team members and showed that she had a talent for achievement of her goals as a leader of each team she headed.

Beth had known Mike Yeatman professionally at PepsiCo for many years. At one time, she was on his sales team. After her divorce they began to date and they were married on May 29, 2022 in Sicily, Italy. It was a dream venue and the honeymoon of 2 weeks created many happy memories. They have lived in Carrollton, Tx since that time. Mike owns a ranch near Stephenville, Tx. Mike and Beth have spent many peaceful weekends there and Drew and Ethan love to go to the ranch for nature hikes, bike rides and life in the Texas country.

Beth has suffered with colon cancer and metastatic liver cancer for almost a year. It took her life too soon. All of her family and friends are deeply saddened by her passing and she will be missed greatly.
