Marybeth worked at Grand Island Senior High for two years as a para educator in the special education department. She continued her employment at Principal Financial Group in Grand Island before being transferred to the Omaha office, then to Des Moines. She later returned to the Grand Island office where she worked as a trainer until her retirement due to health reasons.
Marybeth lived in St. Paul while working in Grand Island and because she was a caring and giving person, she drove two children from St. Paul to Grand Island so they could attend special education classes.
She loved to dance, sing karaoke and paint figurines. She also loved dogs and cats.
She was a member of St. Mark's Lutheran Church in St. Paul.
Survivors include a son, Trey Bickford of Ashland, NE; her parents, John and Kaye Tomlinson, Sr.; a sister, Tami Snyder of Marble, MN; two brothers, Vince Tomlinson and his partner, Laurie Arnett of Dannebrog and John Tomlinson, Jr. and his wife, Tamie of St. Paul; and nieces and nephews.
