Deseret News obituary:
Bethel Esbenson Shipler died June 19, 2005, at her home from causes incident to her 92 years of life. Her parents were Pearl N. and Bent Esbenson. She married Robert T. Shipler on November 21, 1941.
She graduated from the University of Utah and taught school in this valley for 30 years. She was a Past High Priestess of Iris Court, #47, of the Ladies Oriental Shrine of North America. She was a member of Mizpah Chapter #5 of the Order of Eastern Star, the Delta Zeta Sorority, the Sego Lily Chapter of the American Business Women's Association, the Granite-Salt Lake Retired Educators' Association, the Utah Retired School Employees' Association, and the Emeritus Club.
Bethel loved the excitement of being with her family and friends. She was always among the last to leave any party. She would linger over her cup of coffee to make the event or the meal go on a little longer. In leadership roles in the organizations she belonged to, she was creative and fun, always finding something to raise a laugh or smile. She delighted in her role in teaching first-graders to read, figuring finances to the penny, and correcting her family's grammatical errors. Her family had the privilege of intimately sharing her life. Even to the end, she exhibited strength of character, intelligence, and morality, and was lovingly referred to as the "stubborn Swede."
