“Beth - such a down-to-earth and generous person! Her time and knowledge were given freely, and I know she also supplied provisions for the Information Hut at Werribee Zoo. Always full of interesting information, and very inclusive. She was very matter-of-fact about her illness, and wasn't phased by any of it. I will miss the stories of tuk-tuk trips to The House of Fashion and other adventures. I'll think of her whenever I'm at the Zoo and when I get my hands on a Kathy Reichs book.”

Helen Rowley wrote a sympathy message

“Beth's passion for her zoo was exemplified by her tireless efforts to ferret out the smallest details from gardeners, keepers, caterers, shop staff, cleaners – anyone who could help her fill out the big picture. The resultant volumes of information she presented were always accurate and up-to-date. I’ve never met a more fastidious person. And what a wicked sense of humour she had, her emails frequently had me laughing out loud with tears running down my cheeks. RIP beautiful lady, sadly missed.”

“Beth was a warm, thoughtful, knowledgeable and generous person. We are all so much better people (and volunteers) for having Beth as part of our lives. Her passion for volunteering and WORZ has made an impact on generations of visitors at Zoo Victoria. I will miss her stories and "facts" and she has left a lasting impact on the volunteer program. Thoughts with all your loved ones. Deanne Hassett”

Rhonda Hopper wrote a sympathy message

“Beth was my "Zoo Guru". There was nothing she didn't know or wasn't prepared to research to educate others. Her generous and friendly personality made her a popular and very valued member of the Volunteers at Zoos Victoria for over 37 years. I will miss Beth, her stories, her smile and her mentorship. Such a special woman. An irreplaceable, dedicated perfectionist. Thank you Bob for sharing Beth with us. Sincere condolences to you and your family at this very sad time. Beth was loved.”
