Born in Canton to the late Mark and Katherine (Hines) Chimples, she was preceded in death by her brother George Chimples, sisters Helen Chimples, Mary Thomas, and Lucille Chimples. A 1945 graduate of Canton McKinley High School, she attended Lake Eire College in Painesville, OH and also Western College in Oxford, OH. Beth had been employed with the Canton City School system as a travelling librarian, a position she thoroughly enjoyed. She was a member of St. Haralambos Greek Orthodox Church, Daughters of Penelope, Philoptochos Ladies Society, Senior Citizens of St. Haralambos, Silver Liners and the Canton Symphony League. Beth was very proud of her Greek heritage and dearly loved her family and friends. She is survived by her husband Roger Shook with whom she would have celebrated 64 loving years of marriage in August, daughter Marcia (Aris) Kaplanis, son Mark (Kathy) Shook, four grandchildren; Scott Michael (Davida Aronovitch) Kaplanis, Melanie Evangeline (Robert) Cook, Kristine and Katie Shook, great-grandchildren Clara Kaplanis and Owen Cook. Family and friends will be received on Monday from 10 to 11 am at St. Haralambos Greek Orthodox Church with services to follow at 11:00, Rev. Dr. Nicholas V. Gamvas officiating, assisted by Rev. Deacon Keric J. Shiepis, D.C. Internment will be in Forest Hill Cemetery. Beth's heartfelt wishes were for no flowers, but if desired, donations may be made to her beloved St. Haralambos Greek Orthodox Church. A very special and sincere note of appreciation to our Father Nick for his friendship as well as all of his visits, prayers and calls. His love and support have made our journey a peaceful one. The Shook family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Aultman Hospice and Palliative Care and all of the staff at Windsor Medical Centre, for the tremendous love, support and compassionate care she received during her extended illness.
