Beth Fite, age 72, passed away peacefully October 28, 2024, with her family by her side. She was born in Corpus Christi, TX, March 11, 1952, to Jack R. Fite Sr. and Johnnyrea L Fite.

Beth graduated from Mary Carroll High School and University of Corpus Christi (now Texas A&M Corpus Christi) with a degree in Fashion and Merchandising. She was a Christian baptized at Parkdale Baptist Church in her youth. A child of the 50's, she came of age in the 60's, sowed her oats in the 70's, finally settling into her career in the 80's. Those who lived through those times can identify. She began her career at J Harris where she once was so pissed she chased a shoplifter out of the mall and tackled her in the parking lot until security could arrive. Probably not advisable. As Beth's career advanced, she moved to Austin, Dallas, "N'Awlins" as Russ would say, finally arriving in LA the epicenter of fashion. Business travel to the south of France and garment factories in China, Malaysia, India, Hong Kong, Taipei, Korea, and Viet Nam became common place where she made many lifelong friends both stateside and overseas. Many have said she had a major influence on their lives. She ultimately retired to "sleepy" Kerrville, TX and tried her hand at delivering food with Meals on Wheels in addition to mentoring kids through the school system.

Beth is predeceased by her father, Jack R. Fite Sr.; mother, Johnnyrea L Fite; and brother, Russ Fite.

Survivors include her brother, Gregg Fite; sister-in-law, Michelle Fite; nephew, Cory Fite and his wife Amanda Fite; and the dogs, Jake, Lucky, Mudge, and Rusty.

Beth's wishes were for services to be private, and she will be buried in Fite family plots in Hughes Springs, TX. Hug your friends and family and share your best Beth story in her memory.

In lieu of flowers, consider contributing to American Cancer Society or PKD Foundation.

JB said it best, "It's been a lovely Cruise."
