Elizabeth Louise Whisenand (Beth) was 40 years old when she passed away peacefully on April 4, 2026. She was surrounded by her loved ones, both sisters and her dad.

Elizabeth had a big heart and loved everyone, no matter what. She loved butterflies, unicorns, the color pink, music, movies, and most of all her family. Elizabeth had 2 beautiful daughters and a grandbaby. She was an animal lover and especially loved cats and dogs.

From a young age until the day she passed away, her heart and love was unconditional. Every time she called her sisters, Francine and Leah, she always had to end the conversation with “I’ll see you later alligator,” so they could tell her “After a while crocodile.” Then she would bet them to say, “I love your pretty lil face”. Elizabeth finally made it to Little Rock, Arkansas to be with her dad and two sisters. She got to spend her last few months with her family. She really loved to tell her dad, “I love you”, from the time she woke up until she went to bed. She really enjoyed jamming out with her dad to the radio. She showed and gave her family so much love until her very last breath. She fought so hard with her sickness, but her momma called her home. Elizabeth was the biggest momma’s girl.

Elizabeth is preceded in death by her mother Sandra Francine Wilkie; maternal grandfather Albert Wilkie; and paternal grandparents Edith and Virgil Mann.

She is survived by her father Carey Mann; two sisters Keri Francine Whisenand and Margaret Leah Mann; two daughters Isabell Whisenand and Irelend Whisenand; granddaughter Serenity Rose Whisenand; aunt and uncle Cindy and Stanley Crowell and their kids Shasta Franks, Lisa Franks, and Eric Mann.

Messages and poems from family:

To my daughter,

I want you to know, I will always be there to love you and I will always be there to support you. You will always be my baby girl. I believe that God sent you into my life, to give me hope, and to bring me joy. You are a gift from heaven.

Love, Dad

I Never Left You

I watch you everyday

I am always very near

I know deep in your heart

You realize I’m here.

I watch while you’re sleeping

In your bed at home

I hear you when you speak to me

When you are on your own

You cannot understand

The reasons why I’ve gone

But I will never leave you

I’m there to keep you strong

Talk to me, I hear you

Though you may not see

We share a bond unbroken

That will always be

Death won’t keep us apart

For our love is forever

Just remember me in your heart

And one day we’ll be together

Live your life and live it full

Don’t waste a single day

Remember I’m always with you

Every step of the way

To a Loving Sister in Heaven

Our time together was special

So were the memories we made

And although you live in Heaven now

Those memories never fade

I bow my head in silence

And remember my sister with love

And I know that you are up there

Watching from above

Every day’s a struggle

And nothing feels the same

And my heart breaks a little more

Every time I hear your name

You’ll always be remembered

And time may heal my heart

But a piece of me is missing

Since the day we had to part

If Heaven is for Angels

Then I know that’s where you’ll be

And I know you will be waiting

When Heaven calls for me
