PITOT/HUBBARD, Bertha E.
07 Jul 1955- 29 Dec 2004
"Beth"

Pitot/Hubbard, Beth MADISON - Beth Pitot/Hubbard, RN, BSN,
CRRN, MSN, age 49, devoted wife and mother, was called to
eternal life on Wednesday, Dec. 29, 2004, surrounded by
her family. Beth was born in New Orleans, La., on July 7,
1955. She was always a very giving person to all who knew
her, especially to her husband, Peter Hubbard, her
children, Edward and Marie and all her family. This
inherent concern for the welfare of others was expressed
in her goal to be a nurse. Beth attended Blessed Sacrament
School (Madison) and graduated from Edgewood High School
in 1973. She then entered the University of Wisconsin-
Madison School of Nursing and graduated in December 1977
with a BSN degree. She began working as a nurse in the
field of rehabilitation medicine, and she was appointed
clinical nurse manager in the acute rehabilitation unit
after only four years. During her tenure as nurse manager,
she obtained her M.S. in nursing administration in 1996,
and taught in the school of nursing at UW-Madison. Beth
was a certified rehabilitation registered nurse (1987-
2004) and a member of the board of directors of the UW
School of Nursing Alumni Association (1997-2002). She was
co-chairperson of the education committee and member of
the board of directors of the Wisconsin Association of
Rehabilitation Nurses (1997-2002). Her honors include
membership in the Sigma Theta Tau International Honors
Society (1993-present) and recipient of the Nursing
Excellence Award of the University of Wisconsin Hospital
and Clinics in 1993. In 1999, Beth assumed the additional
responsibility of clinical nurse manager of the family
practice unit. She then remained as clinical nurse manager
of both services until December 2001, when she was
diagnosed with breast cancer. Following her diagnosis she
resigned her position as nurse manager and became a
clinical nurse specialist in the same departments. She
worked in this position until six weeks before her death.
Beth loved her time with her many friends, colleagues and
patients while working at the hospital. She always
lovingly cared for her family while fulfilling her many
professional responsibilities. She loved spending time
with friends and family at their Wood Lake home. Beth was
strongly committed to her faith and all who knew her were
touched by her attitude of peace and acceptance. She made
a positive difference in the lives of her family, her
staff, her patients and her friends, and the world is a
better place because of her. Beth is survived by her
loving husband, Peter Hubbard; son and daughter, Edward
and Marie; father and mother, Henry and Julie Pitot; six
sisters, Anita (Gregory) Mayer of Paradise Valley, Ariz.,
Jeanne (Robert) Pitot-Frank of Madison, Catherine

Pitot of Tucson, Ariz., Lisa (Kelley Roberts) Pitot of
Fort Collins, Colo., and Patrice Pitot (fiance Eric
Bruenman) of San Francisco, Calif.; brother, Henry (Kika
Dudiak) Pitot of Rochester, Minn.; mother-in-law Patricia
Kelley of Madison; sister-in-law, Patti Ann (Eric) Orvold

2005, at 11:30 a.m., with Monsignor Kenneth Fiedler and

flowers, donations should be sent to the Beth Pitot
Memorial Rehab Nursing Fund, UW Hospital, 600 Highland
Ave., H5/803, Madison, WI 53792. The family wishes to
express their sincere thanks to all the personnel at the
Comprehensive Cancer Center at the UW Hospital and Clinics
for their dedicated and compassionate care, and the staff
of Don and Marilyn Anderson HospiceCare center, especially
Pat and Jennifer. Dont grieve for me for now Im free. Im
following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I
heard him call. I turned my back and left it all. I could
not stay another day; to laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that peace
at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void,
then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a
laugh, a kiss; Ah yes those things I too will miss. Be not
burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of
tomorrow. My life's been full, Ive savored much; good
friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my life
seems all too brief, don't lengthen it now with undue
grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me
now. He set me free. - author unknown. Joyce Ryan Funeral
