Beth J. (Branam) Haisley

Beth Joanne Haisley, 71, of Rushville, Indiana, passed peacefully at her home.

She was born April 28, 1949, in Rushville, a daughter of Helen A. Waits Branam and the late Max R. Branam.  In her youth she was a member of 4H, FFA, and she excelled in showing horses. Beth graduated from Manilla High School in 1967 and attended Beauty School in Terre Haute, Indiana.

She worked as a Beautician in Rushville and married Joseph D Haisley in 1969.  They had three children and Beth worked as a homemaker until moving to Longmont, Colorado in 1981, where she was employed in Quality Control in the Hi-tech Industry for 15 years. After divorcing, Beth moved to Rushville to take care of her mother for 12 years. During that time she also volunteered at Rushville Memorial Hospital, the food bank, and enjoyed making pumpkin bars and distributing them to the police department, firefighters, healthcare workers and neighbors.

Beth was a loving mother and grandmother, enjoyed gardening, baking, canning, playing Bridge, spending time with her cousins in Kentucky, driving her 1968 Ford Mustang, and spending time with neighbors, friends and family.  Beth unselfishly gave joy, laughter, love and support to everyone her entire life. She will be greatly missed.
