While Beth Chapman had been sick for a long time, fans thought the A&E/CMT star would pull through her most recent medical scare. The Dog the Bounty Hunter couple’s agent told E! News that Beth was such a strong person and that if anyone could beat this it would be her. Fans were requested to keep Beth, Duane, and the entire family in their prayers.
Memorial plans for Beth Chapman have not yet been announced, but after her incurable cancer diagnosis last year, Duane Chapman told Us Weekly that Beth began making plans for her own funeral.
