Elizabeth “Beth” Templeton, 65, passed away peacefully with her family by her side, on July 16, 2017, at E.T. York Hospice Care Center. She was born in Vidalia, Georgia, to Robert O’Neal and Audrey Poole O’Neal. In 1970, she married the love of her life, Edwin A. Templeton and together they raised two children Scott and Stacey.
Beth was a brilliant bright light who loved to cherish her family. She was a city girl who learned how to hunt and fish with her husband soon after they were married and stayed dedicated to those hobbies as well as gardening.
She worked for many years as a contract administrator for Evoqua Water Technologies, in Gainesville, FL.
Beth was happiest in bare feet and working in the yard. She loved flowers, and especially loved her grandchildren.
She leaves behind her husband, Edwin, her mother, Audrey, her two children, Scott Templeton and Stacey (Billy) Wood. Also to mourn her loss, her sister Linda (Larry) Goolsby, brother Jody O’Neal, and four grandchildren, Clint (Bethany) Wood, Amber Templeton, Garrett Wood, and Gavin Wood.
She will be greatly missed by all who loved her.
