They we “the girls” and helped businesses with banking and bookkeeping. When she was 27 years old she served an LDS mission in the Easter States – mostly serving in Erie, Pennsylvania.

When she returned from her mission, she met and married Grant Pratt in the Idaho Falls temple. They had eight children. They lived on a farm near Hinckley, Utah when they were first married and then moved to Kennewick, WA and lived for 52 years in their “dream home” they built themselves.

Beth was a devoted wife, loving mother and grandmother. Beth had many talents and hobbies. She spent her life in service to others.

She decorated many wedding cakes and did floral arrangements for weddings. She enjoyed china painting, oil painting, music (played the guitar, piano, accordion, and clarinet in the school band), family history, writing poetry, canning and gardening. Beth is survived by her seven children and their spouses; 23 grandchildren; 54 great-grandchildren, and her two sisters.
