Beth Anne Washburn

Beth Anne (Gill) Washburn, age 45 of Lake Worth, Florida, went home to Our Lord on December 15, 2023. Beth was born, the youngest of five children to Cathy and John Gill on October 9, 1978 in Orlando, Florida. After attending local schools her love for children was manifested through lifelong employment as a Champion Cheering coach and pre-school teaching assistant. On July 12, 2008 Beth married the love of her life, Michael Washburn . Michael and Beth built a home and life of love for their children; Deanna, Ryan and Reagan in Lake Worth, Florida. Beth's joys included watching Ryan, her son, play football, baseball and rugby; often one of the loudest fans at the games. She taught, encouraged and coached her own daughters, Deanna and Reagan, in cheering and into becoming strong, independent women. Beth planned annual vacations with the intent of making meaningful, happy memories with her beloved family. Beth's strong faith sustained her through her years of illness. Her will to live was explicitly for her entire family; always, first and foremost in her life. This will to live, in spite of all that she endured, earned her the name, Warrior, "one who has shown great vigor and courage", by all who knew her. Beth is survived by her husband, Michael and children: Deanna (& Sean), Ryan, and Reagan. Her mom, Cathy, survives her, in addition to her beloved siblings: John (& April) Gill, Christine (& Paul) Lambeth, Denise (& Sean) O'Masta, and Debbie Gill. Numerous nieces and nephews loved dearly and will miss their Aunt Beth as well. Beth held a special place in her heart for her childhood friend, Jaime Orapello, as well as her many friends and neighbors on Marshwood Lane. She valued time spent with the childrens' football and cheer families. Macie, Codi and Captain, Beth's precious pets, kept her company and provided companionship and comfort throughout her days. Beth was predeceased by her father, John Gill and father in law, Robert Washburn. Since Beth truly loved all babies and children, the family requests donations to to St. Jude Childrens' Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee or charities of one's choice.
