    I know Beth from way back when She and Art ran the grocery store in Crediton and my Aunt Clara worked for them, and as a little girl going there for the Best Ice Cream Cones ever. As an adult I became a hairdresser and then worked for Beth in her Salon in Exeter. She was a wonderful person and was so good to me. Many good memories. She will always be remembered.
