"Mary “Beth” Tipler, 65, of Phoenix, Arizona, passed away on April 10th, 2026 at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Raised in Phoenix, Beth was the glue that held her family together. She was known for her warmth, humor, and ability to keep everyone on track.
She kept her home full of energy, laughter, and always held the door open for anyone who needed a safe haven.
Life with Beth was never quiet. There was always disco or metal music playing, a true crime show on in the background, or the sound of Beth cheering on her beloved Arizona Cardinals. She held a deep love for animals and cared for many over the years, including dogs, cats, ducks, turtles, and even goats.
She is survived by her husband, Dan Banovich; her children, Cyle Tipler and Presley LeFort; her granddaughters, Starla Tipler and Madison Salazar; her great-grandchildren, Nova and Calem; her sister, Julie Swanson Lopez; and her mother, Wanda Swanson.
She is preceded in death by her father, Bud Swanson.
Beth will be remembered for her sweet and caring nature as well as for the unwavering love and support she held for her family. Her resilience and positive outlook on life will forever be an inspiration to those that knew her.
A celebration of life will be held on May 1st, 2026 at 3pm at Advantage Crystal Rose Funeral Home at 9155 W Van Buren St, Tolleson, AZ 85308.
