Beth was born March 22, 1938 to W. R. and Katherine Coyne Gray in Tarentum, Pennsylvania.
Beth received her Bachelor of Science in Education degree from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Beth started her career of serving others by teaching at the elementary and pre-school levels before taking a break to raise her two children.
Later in life, Beth continued her service to others by starting a second career in serving seniors by first volunteering as a part-time activities coordinator at Northwest Mediplex. Beth so enjoyed working with the seniors that she quickly became the full-time activities director at Northwest Mediplex. Beth then took a similar job at The Claremont Retirement Community before retiring from working at the Heartland Health Care Center.
After her retirement, Beth had a busy life traveling the world with her husband, Mike; visiting with her children; playing bridge, canasta, and Bunco with her many life-long friends; and hosting her annual tea luncheons and Christmas open houses.
Beth is survived by her beloved husband of over fifty-five years, Mike Lukshin, son, Craig Lukshin, son, Keith Lukshin and wife Julie, sister, Kathlyn Ellis, and niece, Kathy McPherson and husband David.
