Mary Elizabeth “Beth” Beshear Hibbs, age 72, of Dawson Springs, KY passed away on Wednesday, February 19, 2025 at Baptist Health Deaconess in Madisonville, KY, after suffering a massive heart attack. Mrs. Hibbs was born on November 28, 1952 in Madisonville, KY, the first child of the late Aubrey and Mary Beshear. She attended Charleston Elementary and West Hopkins High School and graduated from Western Kentucky University with a degree in social work. Social work was a passion for Beth, whether she was helping residents of nursing homes or assisting children in her job with the state Cabinet for Health and Family Services. Chronic illness cut her career short, but she always thought fondly of the children and parents she helped, and some kept in touch with her.
Beth is survived by her brother ~ Thomas Beshear; her sister-in-law ~ Carolyn Yetter and many cousins, all of whom she loved dearly. Tom can attest that Beth was the best big sister a little boy could have.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her beloved husband ~ Lee Hibbs and an infant son ~ Michael Hibbs.
Visitation for Mary Elizabeth “Beth” Beshear Hibbs will be held on Wednesday, February 26, 2025 from 12:00 until the 2:00 funeral hour at Beshear Funeral Home in Dawson Springs, KY with Elder Jeff Winfrey officiating. Burial will follow at McNeely Cemetery in Hopkins County, KY.
Pallbearers will be Jim Beshear, Chris Bowles, Trevor Sewell, Matt Beshear, Cash Bowles and Mark McGregor.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that you donate to the charity of your choice in Beth’s honor.
