Beth was born April 05, 1957 to Arron and Bernice Landow in Brooklyn, NY. The family grew up in Anchrom, NY on a farm where they raised horses. As a teenager the family moved to California where Beth attended school and received an associates degree specializing in Special Education. As an adult she lived in Las Cruces, NM where she met Bill King through country western dance lessons. Together they enjoyed a full life filled with family and friends. She is survived by her husband Bill King, daughter Diane King, grandchildren Brandon D. King, and Olivia J. Houston. She is also survived by her extended family Jill and Jim Craig, and their children Cody, Emma, and Blake Craig. She was preceded in death by her son Jeffery E. King, her grandson Zachary J. Vasquez, and her aunt Ethel K. Anderson. Beth had many passions which included traveling, dancing, music, cooking, and all things that brought beauty into the world and happiness to those around her. All these things Beth was known and admired for, however it was the dedication she had to Brandon, Zach, Olivia, her family and all that needed her that stood out the most. To her, family was everything, and that love, thought missed greatly, will live on forever in the hearts of all she knew.
