Beth Gerschick, DRMF Vice President and Gold Star Mother of CPT Andrew Ross, is a dedicated supporter of military families and channels her grief into meaningful initiatives. Having spent a portion of her life as a military spouse, she understands the unique challenges that military families face. Beth, who works full-time as a nurse, finds the opportunities to work with veterans in the local area particularly meaningful.
Beth is also a member of the Gold Star Mothers of Virginia, a support organization for mothers who have lost a son or daughter in military service. Additionally, she is a member of the Blue Star Mothers of Virginia, a support organization for mothers who have children serving, or who have served, in the United States Armed Forces. As a member of this organization, Beth has participated in events and activities to provide support and camaraderie to fellow military mothers. Excitingly, she is looking forward to her partnership with Wintergreen Adaptive Sports (WAS), a Virginia non-profit with a veteran-focused mission arm, serving as a volunteer for the Wounded Warriors Weekend in Nelson County, VA. Beth’s dedication and diverse background make her a valuable asset to the foundation and the community. She and her husband, Joe reside in Richmond, Virginia.
