It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elizabeth Ilene Ochs Cohen (Beth) of Virginia Beach, who passed after a long illness on November 19, 2024 at the age of 72. 

A native of Norfolk, she graduated from Norview High School and spent most of her life in the Hampton Roads area. The greatest joys in her life were spending time by the pool and any time spent with her grandchildren (biological and bonus). 

She is survived by her beloved husband of 50 years Michael F. Cohen, loving brother Robert J. Ochs, daughters Jennifer Carson (Kirk), and Jaime Dean (Ricky), and grandchildren Austin (Sienna), Ciera, Brandon, Ricky, and Jade (Michael). 

She will be treasured and greatly missed by numerous other family and friends. Services will be held graveside at Forest Lawn Cemetery, Norfolk, at 11am Thursday, November 21 with Rabbi Israel Zoberman officiating. The family will be accepting visitors at 4729 Sussex Rd. Virginia Beach on Wednesday from 2pm - 7pm and Thursday immediately following the service until 7pm. Condolences may be left online. at www.altmeyerfh.com May her memory be a blessing.
