Beth Thornton

Beth “Arline” Thornton left her body and turned back into the expansive light of love she is on March 9, 2014, in Whitefish.

Her short stay was filled with good times and much laughter. Arline was the kindest soul you could meet, filled with warmth and light.

She left the gift of three amazing children and one grandchild here to make this world a better place then she found it. She will be missed deeply, but more importantly celebrated daily in the lives of all who knew her.

Arline was born in Florence, Ore., on April 28, 1969. She grew up in Sandpoint, Idaho, and resided in Hungry Horse.

She is the eldest daughter of Lance and Frankie Lowden; big sister to Katherine Thornton, Jennifer Karacic, Tamara Lowden and Dean Lowden; momma to Anthony Prochnow, Kyle Thornton and Shayne Boyd; auntie to Eniece Badham, Kearra Navarro, Adrian Needs, Darian Needs, Mariah Lowden, Mikayla Brennan and Justice Nichols; and Nan to the love of her life, Liliana Prochnow.

A celebration in her honor will be held in Sandpoint, Idaho, in June 2014.
