Bev Stroh Obituary

January 1957 - April 2009

A lovely remembrance of Bev from her sister, Sherry, on the UP200 web site:

http://www.up200.org/bevstroh.php

5/4/09
Submitted by Linda Lange, Claudia Nowak

Bev led a very private struggle against kidney disease. After dealing with many medications, a transplant, and finally dialysis, she lost her fight on April 29.

Bev developed and maintained the UP 200/MR/JP web site. She loved mushers and their teams and was a huge supporter of sled dog sports. She was a warm, fun loving, and valiant person.

At Bev's request, cremation will take place and no service will be held.

If you care to send her husband a sympathy card his address is:

Frank Stroh
135 Gun Powder Rd.
Rockwood, TN 37854

Obituary & Guest Book can be found at Evans Mortuary
