Beth Haynes Chaffee was born September 7, 1927 on the family farm in Easton, to Willard and Elsie (Ricke) Chaffee.  She was a 1945 graduate of Delavan High School.  She married Harley Langworthy on February 19, 1947 and they spent many years together until his death on May 2, 2009. Traveling and spending over 40 winters in Texas, farming and watching sporting events filled Beth’s time. She loved watching football and baseball especially Sunday afternoon games with her sister Phyllis. Beth was very competitive.  Lately she enjoyed beating her son at dominoes, and in 1992 she held the title for Texas State Shuffleboard championship, to name a few. Beth was a homemaker and farm laborer, doing all-things-farming except planting and combining.  She would go to town for her father-in-law, husband and in later years for her son, to collect the whatchamacallits and thingamajigs needed for the task at hand. 

Beth is survived by her son Jerry Langworthy of Delavan; daughter Shirley Stefanski of Plymouth; brothers, Willard (Bert) Chaffee of Bellevue, NE and Norman (Sue) Chaffee of Gilbert; sister-in-laws, Lorraine Chaffee of Winnebago and Helen Whitney of Winnebago.  Beth is preceded in death by her parents; husband Harley; sister Phyllis Jensen; brother Roger Chaffee; brothers-in-law Wayne Whitney and William Jensen; and son-in-law Mike Stefanski.

    The family would like to thank all the health care professionals at the Mapleton Community Home, Mayo Clinic Hospice, and ISJ Hospital of Mankato.
