Beth Nadine (Nee:Cornell) Cline

Age 69, late of Lockport, passed away Friday October 9, 2020 in New Lenox Illinois , born April 27, 1951 to Charlotte and Byron Cornell on Washington Island Wisconsin.

Beth spent her first 18 years on Washington Island enjoying Island activities such as sledding, skating, drag racing and pistol shooting. Beth attended Bethel Evangelical Free Church, attending Sunday school, frequently singing with her brother Rodney and being confirmed. Beth attended Washington Island Schools and graduated in 1969. Last year the Class of '69 held their fiftieth class reunion which Beth enjoyed immensely. After graduation Beth moved to Lockport Illinois where she raised her two children, worked in a nursing home and drove fork lift at a grocery distribution warehouse.

Family was Beth's greatest joy and satisfaction. She and her grandson Jamie, (with whom she shared a special love relationship) made frequent trips to Washington Island to attend family gatherings, not wanting to miss any. Beth was an excellent cook, preparing meals and canned items which were enjoyed by neighbors, friends and family. Beth and husband Larry enjoyed time at flea markets and antique shops, searching for items to decorate her home, adding to the decor of sentimental items from her past. Beth was a gift giver, lavishly bestowing gifts to all she knew. Beth loved taking her granddaughter Morgan to Sunday school.
