The Clinton community is still in shock as they mourn the loss of 49-year-old Mary Beth F. Graham, who passed away on December 3, 2025.
Born on March 16, 1976, in Beloit, Mary Beth embodied that special kind of quiet compassion that made people feel safe as soon as they saw her smile.
Her closest friends have suggested that it’s the smallest things about Mary Beth that will be remembered.
The nickname she reserved for everyone, “hon,” her infectious laugh that betrayed her whenever something truly caught her eye.
She had a habit of checking in on everyone before thinking about doing anything for herself.
Mary Beth attended Beloit Turner High School and Blackhawk Technical College.
She dedicated more than 30 years as an outstanding dental hygienist.
Patients still remember her, not just for her expertise, but also for making even the most nervous patient put at ease.
But her greatest happiness came with being a mother to her daughter, Maycee.
According to those who were close to her, every single thing she ever wanted and hoped for was all about her child.
As tributes pour in on social media, people have been hailing Mary Beth as ‘the kindest person in the room.
‘Someone who had an impact on people with her kindness that made even tough days a bit easier.”
There will be a community memorial service on December 20th.
Family and friends will share memories based on a life that touched so many with love, empathy, and unrelenting dedication.
