Honeoye/Warsaw: Went to be with the Lord on February 15, 2014 at age 29 years. Survived by her parents Carl & Lorraine (Matthews) Beach of Honeoye, sister Carla (David) Bartello of Gates, and niece SarahRae Bartello. Special friends Mike & Michelle Belanger. Many aunts & uncles, cousins, and friends. Kristen was a resident of the North Maple IRA in Warsaw, NY for many years and the family is grateful for the compassionate care she received.
Kristen was born on May 13, 1984 in Corning, NY and was so loved by her family. She attended Mary Cariola Children’s Center in Rochester, NY as a child and made many memories. Kristen loved to go camping with her family, she loved being outdoors. She did many things with her older sister, Carla, who like her parents always looked out for her. She was at home with her family until about 11 years ago when she went to live at the North Maple IRA. Kristen would light up when she would hear music, especially church music. She loved the song ” I Can Only Imagine” which is about going to heaven and standing before God. She will be missed by all that knew her.
Friends may call on Saturday March 1, 2014 from 1-2pm at the Kevin W. Dougherty Funeral Home Inc, 8624 Main Street, Honeoye, where a Celebration of Life Service will follow calling at 2pm. Pastor Mike Morrisey will be the celebrant. Memorial contributions may be made in her memory to the Warsaw Ambulance, PO Box 229, Warsaw, NY 14569.

Lorraine, Carl & Carla – I’m so very sorry for your loss. I know how much you loved Kristen. She was blessed to have you for her family. I can still ‘see’ you bringing her into J. Chrisman’s office in her chair and how cute she was. May God bring comfort to all of you. xoxo
I had the pleasure of working with Kristen for the past 16 months at Silver Lake Day Services and will miss her presence on a daily basis. I will miss “my beachy”.
I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Kristen for many years and will miss her. My sympathies to her family, friends and caregivers.
I know you are there singing with the angels.
How you shared such unconditional love for your daughter. I learned so much about Kristen from you both. For the past three years I had come to know Kristen as her Occupational Therapist. I fondly recall her love of music. May you be comforted by His Presence.
I will miss you dearly my friend.
You are free to run, play, sing and dance with JESUS.
Love you Cathy
