Elizabeth Nancy (Hoppe) Chirdon, 55, of Hughesville, was called home to God on Thursday, October 23, 2014 at the Williamsport Regional Medical Center.
Born April 27, 1959 in Oak Park, IL, she was a daughter of the late Phylis Jean (Weston) Hoppe and William Henry Hoppe, who survives. Beth lived in Germany, Italy and France as an Army brat and attended public high school in Flat River, Missouri.

Auxiliary, both of Muncy. In 1993 Beth received the Volunteer of the Year Award from the United States Army Southern Command. She was also a volunteer Girl Scout Leader in Kentucky, Virginia and Germany.
