She was known for her strength, determination, vibrant spirit, and dedication to her family and community. Throughout her life, Beth demonstrated perseverance, independence, and a genuine commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.

EDUCATION, ACTIVITIES & COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Beth’s journey began in Akron, Ohio, where she attended Case Elementary School and Perkins Middle School. From an early age, she displayed a passion for performing arts and community involvement. During her childhood in the 1980s, Beth participated as a majorette with the Ebonetts, beginning a lifelong connection to dance, cheerleading, and youth activities.

Her love for cheerleading continued as she cheered for the West Griffins alongside many childhood friends under the leadership of her father, Johnny Isaiah. She later served as a majorette at St. Vincent–St. Mary High School during the 1990–1991 school year. Beth was a proud graduate of John R. Buchtel High School, Class of 1992.

Her passion for learning continued beyond high school as she attended the University of Akron, where she studied paralegal studies for several years. Beth’s commitment to personal growth and education reflected her determination to pursue her goals and create opportunities for herself.

Beth’s love for sports and young people extended beyond her own participation. She became a dedicated team mom and coach for the East Dragons and West Griffins, serving as her daughter’s number one fan, supporting young athletes, and helping create lasting memories for children and families.

CAREER, ENTREPRENEURSHIP & SERVICE

Beth dedicated ten years of service to Oriana House, contributing to an organization committed to helping individuals and strengthening the community. Her professional journey reflected her dedication, work ethic, and desire to make a meaningful impact.

A natural entrepreneur, Beth also established her own businesses, QueenBee4Life and Thrones Nutrition. Through her entrepreneurial spirit, she demonstrated ambition, independence, and the determination to build something of her own. Whether through her professional work, business ventures, or community involvement, Beth left her mark on the people and places that were part of her journey.

FAMILY & LOVING MEMORIES

Above all her accomplishments, Beth’s greatest legacy was the love she gave and the family she cherished. She will forever be remembered by her one and only, special daughter, BéJean Cowan, who will carry her mother’s love, lessons, legacy, and precious memories with her always. The bond between a mother and daughter is everlasting, and Beth’s love will continue to live on through her daughter for many generations to come.

She also leaves to cherish her memory her brothers, John G. Isaiah Sr. and Andre D. Isaiah (Shaheed Ali Isaiah Muhsin); many beloved nephews and nieces; extended family members; and her dearest and closest friends.

Beth was preceded in death by her loving parents, Betty Jean Isaiah (Scott) and Rev. Dr. Johnny L. Isaiah; her brothers, Rev. Darrell Isaiah and Minister Erroll Isaiah; and many other cherished loved ones who have gone before her.

A LEGACY THAT LIVES ON

Though Beth’s physical presence will be deeply missed, her legacy lives on through the lives she touched, the young people she encouraged, the community she served, the businesses she built, and the love she poured into her family. Her journey was uniquely her own, marked by determination, service, entrepreneurship, and countless memories that will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Beth’s life reminds us that a legacy is not measured solely by accomplishments, but also by the people we uplift, the love we share, and the memories we leave behind.

Her life was a gift, her memory a treasure, and her love a legacy that will live forever.

Rest peacefully, Beth Ann. You are loved beyond words, missed beyond measure, and will never be forgotten.
