In Loving Memory of Beth Anne Trigg

Beth Anne Trigg, 61, of Peoria, Arizona, passed away on August 6, 2026. Born September 30, 1964, Beth lived a life defined by faith, generosity, loyalty, and a deep devotion to caring for others.

Beth shared 39 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Larry Trigg. Together, they built a life centered on faith, family, friendship, and service to others.

For more than 30 years, Beth devoted herself to education. She began her career as a classroom teacher and went on to serve as a remedial reading teacher, assistant principal, and principal. She earned her degree in Education from Missouri Southern State College in Joplin, Missouri, and later earned both her Master’s and Specialist degrees from Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg, Missouri.

For Beth, education was far more than a profession—it was a calling. Her students were always at the heart of her work. She had a remarkable ability to remember their names and never forgot the children whose lives became part of hers. Over the course of her career, she touched the lives of countless students, families, teachers, and colleagues.

Beth’s heart for children extended well beyond the classroom. For 12 years, she and Larry opened their hearts and their home as foster parents to 17 children, providing love, stability, encouragement, and a safe place during times when those things were needed most.

Beth was fiercely loyal, extraordinarily generous, and possessed the rare gift of making friends wherever she went. She genuinely loved people and had a way of making others feel welcome, valued, and cared for. She also had a special love for her fur babies, including Daisy and Oreo, who brought her tremendous joy.

Ten years ago, Beth and Larry retired to Peoria, Arizona, where Beth embraced retirement with the same enthusiasm she brought to the rest of her life. She loved traveling, spending time with family and friends, and became an avid pickleball player. She was also active in the community at Christ’s Church of the Valley (CCV), where her faith and love for others continued to be an important part of her life.

At the center of Beth’s life was her faith. She loved Jesus, trusted deeply in God’s promises, and lived her faith through the way she cared for others. Although her absence leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of those who loved her, her family finds comfort in knowing that Beth is now at home with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Beth is survived by her husband of 39 years, Larry Trigg; her sister, Karla White, and brother-in-law, Dustin White; her niece, Mallory White; her brother, Jason Moser, and sister-in-law, Julie Moser, brother-in-law Jimmy Trigg; her nephews, Ethan Moser, Sage Moser, Johnathan Boehm, Jasmin Hendricks; and countless former students, foster children, friends, and loved ones whose lives were made better because Beth was part of them.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Janice Moser and John Ryan.

Beth spent her life teaching, nurturing, encouraging, welcoming, and loving others. The reach of that love cannot be measured simply by the years she lived, but by the many lives she changed along the way. Her legacy will continue in her family, her students, her foster children, her friends, and everyone fortunate enough to have been loved by her.
