Beth Wytiaz, 73, of Knoxville, Tennessee passed away peacefully in the morning of Tuesday, August Fourth, 2026. She will be greatly missed by those who knew her, but may they find comfort knowing she died peacefully, the way she wanted. 

Beth was a loving mother to her children Tom and Greg and devoted wife to her late husband Ken Wytiaz. Her primary career in life was always a mother, but she has worked sporadically in impressive short-term careers such as a journalist, bar owner, field supervisor, secretary, and even selling things on eBay. Beth loved to go to yard sales almost as much as she loved going to the beach, and she will always be in our hearts when we hear the ocean or think of the beach. Family vacations will never be the same; however, the tradition will live on. She was skilled at almost every game or sport she tried, like baseball, billiards, poker, darts, backgammon, card games, ping pong, and bowling. 

We find comfort knowing that she has joined her love, Ken, and her parents, Laura and Jacob Helms, in heaven. 

She has been surrounded by family and people who loved her throughout her whole life, and her passing leaves a hole in our hearts. Her memory will live on for a very long time, along with the memory of Ken because of the impact they have had on the lives of others.

Beth is survived by her sons, Tom and Greg Wytiaz, and her brother, Richard Helms. 

The service will be a small, private affair with close family members. Holley Gamble Funeral Home is proud to serve the Wytiaz family. Visit www.Holleygamble.com to share an online condolence.
