Beth Ann Critser

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Beth Ann Critser of Tempe, Arizona, who left us too soon on November 30, 2024, at the age of 36. Beth was born on June 11, 1988, in Show Low, Arizona, and spent her life spreading kindness and love to all who knew her.

Beth had a heart of gold, and her gentle spirit touched everyone she met. Her loving nature, coupled with her beautiful blue eyes, left a lasting impression on family, friends, and colleagues alike. She had an undeniable bond with animals, especially her beloved dogs, whom she treated like family. Above all, Beth dreamed of becoming a mother one day, cherishing the time she spent with her nieces and nephews.

Beth's passion for nutrition led her to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Dietetics from Arizona State University. She worked as a nutritionist at An Oasis of Healing, a holistic cancer treatment center in Mesa, Arizona, where she found fulfillment in helping her patients lead healthier lives. Her dedication to her work and her desire to make a positive impact in the world were evident to everyone around her.

Beth had many interests that brought her joy. She loved being in nature, whether hiking or simply enjoying the outdoors. She was an avid traveler, always eager to explore new places, and she found peace at the beach. Cooking, baking, and shopping were just a few of her other passions that brought light into her life.

Beth’s family and friends will remember her for her kindness, her laughter, and the love she so freely gave. Beth is preceded in death by her parents Janet and Ronald Critser. She leaves behind one brother Josh (Kaylynn) Critser and two sisters Amy (Justin) Tafoya and Emily (Robert) Archuleta. She also leaves behind her two nieces Liliana Critser and Kinsley Tafoya and five nephews, Luke and Cole Critser, Jaxon Tafoya and Corbin and Cohen Archuleta.

To know Beth was to love Beth and she will be deeply missed by all that had the blessing of knowing her. A celebration of life will be held at Country Court Event Hall in Lakeside, Arizona on December 14, 2024 at 1 pm. All that knew and loved Beth are invited and encouraged to attend. Beth will forever be remembered for her sweet soul, her love for others, and the joy she brought to all of us. Although she is no longer with us, her spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved her.
