Beth A. (Shartrand) VanHulst, 66

08/28/2026

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Beth (Shartrand) VanHulst passed away on Aug. 28, 2026, after a long battle against cancer. She was 66 years old.

She was a truly sweet and loving individual always smiling and spreading cheer . Most will remember her for working as a teacher's assistant in the North Adams school system and for being one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Her beliefs were extremely important to her and she loved the preaching activity and talking about Jehovah. She also worked as a hairdresser for many years.

She was a loving mother to her son Jeremy Shartrand . After his graduation from school they moved back to Pennsylvania to be near her family where she continued to do hairdressing and her preaching work.

Beth is survived by her husband Pierre, and her beloved son Jeremy Shartrand of Line Lexington, Pa; two sisters, Jenny Skeeters of Lansdale, Pa and Brenda Becker of Harleysville, Pa. And her parents, William and Kay Faust of Lansdale, PA.

Funeral services are private and for family only in Lansdale, PA.

Beth will surely be missed by anyone who knew her.

Recollections & Sympathy For the Family
Post Comment

I have known Beth for as long as I can remember, at least since the day I was born. Although life took us in different directions and I had lost touch with her after I moved away so many years ago, learning of her passing made me realize just how often she had crossed my mind and remained in my heart all these years. Beth had such a beautiful way about her. She was kind and gentle, soft spoken and warm, with those beautiful eyes and that killer smile. She was generous, loving, and simply one of those people you were fortunate enough to know. More than anything, I will always remember what a wonderful mother she was to Jeremy. Her love for him was unmistakable and was such a beautiful part of who she was. I will also always remember her unwavering faith in God. My heart goes out to Jeremy, her family, and everyone who knew and loved Beth. I am so very sorry for this tremendous loss. She was a beautiful soul, and I will remember her with so much love and affection.
