On April 2, 2017, this world lost an amazing woman. Beth R.L. Garbisch, 71, of the town of Cleveland, Cornell, passed away at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire.

Saying goodbye to Beth was truly the most heart-breaking thing her family has had to do. She was surrounded by family and loved ones when her time came. She went peacefully, knowing she was loved and would be missed tremendously. Beth was the best mom, grandma, sister, aunt, and friend that anybody could ask for. She had the biggest heart and would help anyone, never expecting anything in return. She loved to spend time with family and friends, sitting around a campfire, having a few drinks, reminiscing and listening to blues music. She also enjoyed listening to her brother, Mike, play in his band.

We were all blessed to have her be part of our lives. She always had an answer to almost everything, and if she didn't she would have a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on. She was so much fun to talk to and be with. She made sure other people knew and felt her love for them. This world will never be the same without her in it. Watch over us from up above and thank you for loving us like you did. You will never be forgotten and forever missed.

Beth was preceded in death by her parents, Leon and Jean Mullen; husband, Scott Garbisch in 2011; and daughters, Ronica and Renee LaRock.

She is survived by her brother, Mike (Linda) Mullen; sister, Mary Mullen (Alfonso Carren); daughter, Bianca LaRock (Josh Boote) of Elk Mound; three step-children, Theresa Garbisch, Nikki Dalton, and Zack Garbisch; six grandchildren, Brianna Boote-Schellin (Clay Schellin), Alissa Boote, Ella Boote (from her daughter and son-in-law, Bianca and Josh), Tashana Thomas, Dakota (Bug) Faust (from her daughter, Ronica) and Landon Richardson (from her step-daughter, Nikki). She also had four great-grandchildren and a fifth coming at the end of April.

A funeral service will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, April 8 at Pederson-Volker Funeral Chapel, Chippewa Falls with visitation beginning at 1 p.m. Private burial will be in North Running Valley Lutheran Cemetery, Colfax at a later date.
