Bethany Jayne Somers

Bethany Jayne Somers was born in Wilmington, Delaware, in 1986. She went to be with The Lord on February 5, 2020 in Portland, Oregon.

Bethany was sweet, kind, and fun-loving. She was a creative and gifted artist, painter, and designer. She graduated from The Tatnall School in 2004 and received her degree in illustration from The Ringling College of Art & Design in Sarasota, Florida, in 2007. In her career, Bethany created many logos, album covers and promotional pieces. As a painter, her artwork was commissioned and featured in galleries. Her sense of adventure took her and her talents from coast to coast. She left an indelible mark in the field of art and in the hearts of those who loved her.

She is survived by her loving parents Joan & Wilson Somers; brother Tyler Somers, his wife Jenny, and their 4 children; brother Peter Streckfuss, his wife Ovaline, and their 5 sons; sister Victoria Young, her husband Steve, and their 3 children and many loving friends and relatives.

    We have just found out about this terrible loss. Bethany Somers AKA Jade Moon, has worked with our organizations for over 7 years. My name is Caroline Ehrenthal and I am one of the owners of Flinsco.com. Jade did an amazing job with our website content, logos, marketing campaigns, etc. She was an integral part of all of our marketing initiatives despite the fact that she ended up working remote from Oregon and our offices are based in Florida. We first hired her at East Coast Health Insurance, in our Deerfield beach office (where she used to ride her bicycle into work daily). I last saw her in late 2018 when her and I went to LeadsCon in Boston, MA. We had a great time and her positive energy and great insights will be sorely missed. I would love to speak with the family to express our gratitude for Bethany (Jade) who really did so much for Flinsco.com and our older company East Coast Health Insurance. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, please accept our deepest condolences.

    To the entire Somers family I am incredibly sorry for your loss. I have far too many incredibly fun memories with Bethany from our friendship at the Jersey shore to ever begin to list them all... but a favorite has to be our love of spontaneously singing Tina Turner’s Proud Mary. I will cherish those moments and all the laughter shared throughout the years. I will miss her terribly. May you all find peace during this time of sadness.

    I met Bethany in Florida. She had such a sweet spirit with just the right amount of spunk. And so very talented. I was blessed to call her my friend. Sending loving thoughts to all of you. Very sad. Elise Hughes

    Bethany Bohn lit a candle and writes,
    Dear Somers family, Please know that I'm praying for you! I just read in Tatnall today of Bethanys' passing. I'm so very sorry. She was the first student Bethany I met and she was so much fun. A free thinker (when the rest of the class was playing Capture the Flag in Preschool, Bethany was usually entertaining herself by playing with her coat at one end of the field...) She was a true Bethany. She did her own thing and had a unique way of looking at things. Every Bethany I 've met since pales in comparison to that delightful, funny, cute kid. What a painful emptiness is left in our world. At least God blessed us with her for awhile. Selfishly, I wish it had been longer. I liked knowing Bethany. Blessings, Bethany Bohn
