Arnold, CA…Beth Louise Hicks of Arnold, California, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family at Stanford Hospital on January 20, 2018, at the age of 57 after a courageous fight with breast cancer. Beth was born in San Francisco, California on March 8, 1960. She graduated from St. Finn Barr Catholic School, St. John Ursuline High School in 1978, and went on to earn a degree from San Francisco City College. She worked as a Licensed Vocational Nurse for 37 years starting her career at San Francisco General Hospital. After moving to Arnold, California, she worked for Tuolumne General Hospital for 14 years and ended her career at Sierra Conservation Center in Jamestown, California. Beth was known for her big heart, her love for her family, and she made a lasting impression on everyone that she met. She was always fun, smart, vocal, colorful, funny, and brash – she had the mouth of a sailor and a heart of gold.
