Beth Ann (Benz) Kaiser, 56, Unity, passed away peacefully on Friday, August 13, 2021, surrounded by family and friends. Special thanks to the staff in the 3A oncology and chemo department, the 8N hospital unit, and Carla with home hospice. Beth appreciated the care and concern shown to her. Your support did not go unnoticed, thanks again.

Beth was born July 13, 1965, to Robert and Cecelia (Eberhardy) Benz. She graduated from Mosinee High School in 1983 and University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point in December 1987 with a major in mathematics and a minor in computer science. She received her master’s in education from Viterbo University in 2009. She taught junior/senior high mathematics for 32 years at the Loyal School District.

God saw that she was getting tired,
And a cure was not to be.
So, He put His arms around her,
And whispered, “Come with Me.”
With tearful eyes, we watched her suffer,
And saw her fade away.
Although we loved her dearly,
We could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Your tender hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes “the best.”
