Mary Beth Pettyjohn, 80 of Winter Springs, FL received her wings to walk with the angels and be with the Lord on December 1st with her family by her side. Born in Fort Wayne, Indiana she retired as a Florist for Henry’s Greenhouse in New Haven, Indiana.
After retirement she and her late husband Jack moved to Florida and enjoyed taking their hot rods to car shows. She was also a Certified Water Aerobics instructor for the city of Winter Springs. Mary Beth was a talented painter and loved her flowers, traveling but more importantly she loved her family and friends dearly. Mary Beth touched so many lives here on earth with her kindness, love, and caring for others. She would light up any room with her smile, humor, and laughter.
