Beth Janeen Urton,50, of Smithville, MO passed away March 29, 2018.
She was born on August 27, 1967 in Cameron, Missouri. Beth grew up in North Kansas City and attended North Kansas City High School.
On July 15, 1995 she was united in marriage to Thomas R. Urton and quickly became a beloved member of her new extended family. After their marriage they lived in Grandview, MO until 2002, when they moved to Smithville, MO. They had three incredible children; Matt, Mindy and Mikey. It was in Smithville that they found their church family and many wonderful friends. The Urton family are members of the Grace Community Church in Smithville. Tom passed away on November 14, 2007 after a courageous battle with brain cancer.
She was an officer at Commerce Bank in Kansas City, MO. Beth loved the color pink and had a passion for bringing beauty to everything around her. She had a love for heavy metal hair bands, finding the best bargain shopping, Cadbury eggs and most of all bringing the family together. She was an amazing mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend.
Our hearts are comforted knowing she is reunited with Tom, the love of her life.
Her memory will be cherished by those she left behind; her devoted children Matthew, Melinda and Michael Urton all of the home; mother Linda Simons; father Keith Swindler and wife Kathy; sister Heather Braswell; brother Brian Swindler; sister and brother in law, Carol and Carl Huff and Denise & Pete Blackburn; a host of nieces and nephews; as well as many other relatives and friends.

What can I say about Beth? Our birthdays are both in August, hers being today, August 27th. I am reminded today of how much I miss my friend Beth. Always so bubbly and encouraging and fun to be around. I miss Beth and I know she is in a better place now. Today I choose to remember the good times we had together (working on the same team, going out dancing, taking the kids to the park, talking on the phone). We will see each other again and I look forward to the laughter we will share.

Dear Linda, Brian, Heather, Matt, Mindy & Mikey:
I am so very sorry for the loss of your daughter, sister and mom Beth, my heart aches knowing she was struggling and no one knew. Beth is a beautiful person inside and out, I loved her dearly as she was such a positive, inspiring, strong individual. She was so very proud of all of you, I pray each of you find comfort knowing she is now in her happy place with Tommy. I pray that each of you will be able to move forward and reflect on all those cherished memories she helped each of you to create. I have fond memories of Beth when she was a little girl, and then as our path’s crossed in the career world as we were much older. I am so proud of the beautiful person she became and I truly will miss her, even though we didn’t stay in touch often,Very Special people that cling to me are always in my thoughts. Beth had a special place in my heart and I am so happy that she has a piece of it and she will continue to be there. Love and Prayers to all of her family, and dear friends.

Beth was one of the most beautiful, warm and compassionate people I have ever known. I feel truly blessed to have been able to call her a friend. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her but her memory will live on through all of the life’s she touched. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Dear family,
Beth worked for me several years ago. I was very sad to hear of her passing. If only she had been able to read what everyone thought of her before she needed to stop the pain. She left a mark on everyone she touched. Prayers especially for her kids.

May God wrap his arms around you and give you comfort and peace.

I had the fortune and pleasure to work with Beth. Her outstanding support of Hallmark and our Hallmark retailers was indicative of her spirit … generous and kind with a drive toward always finding the best solution for those involved. I will miss working with Beth and especially our calls back on forth on business issues (always with some frivolity and a personal catch up thrown in). At the end of our calls I could always feel Beth’s smile as we parted ways. I will miss her greatly.
