Beth Ann VanderHeiden, 35, Seymour, passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer on Thursday, November 26, 2020, with her family at her side. She was born on June 16, 1985, the daughter of Jan and Amy (Peotter) Kazik in Green Bay. Beth was a 2003 graduate of Seymour High School. On July 25, 2009, she was united in marriage to Adam VanderHeiden at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Seymour, and the couple had three children. Beth later attended nursing school at NWTC, where she graduated in 2018. She was a member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, and also attended St. Sebastian Catholic Church in Isaar.
Beth's nursing career was brief due to her cancer diagnosis in 2019. She was a loving and caring mother, and her greatest passion in life was spending time with and caring for her family. Beth enjoyed being outdoors; she liked outdoor activities of every season include camping, hunting, fishing, and snowshoeing. She also enjoyed tending to her flowers. Beth had a soft spot for animals and was referred to as the "cat whisperer."
