Beth M. Dhuse (née Lindenmeyer), 89, of Oswego, IL, died on Wednesday, October 30, 2024 at Michaelsen Health Center in Batavia, IL. She was born March 20, 1935 in Aurora, IL, to the late Martin L. and Mildred E. Lindenmeyer (née Weis).

Beth was confirmed at St. Paul's Lutheran church in Aurora, IL, and was then a long time member of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Aurora, where she was a member of the Lutheran Women's Missionary League for 39 years.

She was a Den Mother for Pack 363 of the Cub Scouts of American, worked as a substitute aide on the Oswego Special Education school buses for 9 years, provided alterations at her home for many years, and in her spare time she volunteered for many organizations throughout the years. Retirement allowed yearly winter trips to Arizona to visit family and friends. She leaves a neighborhood of friends who will miss her as well.

(Becky Williams) Dhuse; three grandchildren, Caitlin, Ian, and Christopher (Anna) Dhuse; sister Nancy (Gary) Anderson and brothers Michael (Janice) Lindenmeyer and Steven (Pam) Lindenmeyer; and many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and -nephews.
