Elizabeth Dooley Obituary
December 21, 1964 - April 6, 2021
Boise, Idaho - Elizabeth Marie Dooley, 56, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, April 6th, 2021. Beth was born December 21, 1964 in Oakland, California. After graduating from high school, Beth went out into the world to make her big heart, beautiful smile and wild sense of humor everyone else's problem. We are better off for it.
She followed her heart to the Boise area in the 80's and started building her cherished family, including daughters Brianne Leach, Jessica Silva, and Francis Silva. Later in life she shared a fierce love with her husband, Peter Dooley, and gained two sons in the process - Jason and Byron. She was also survived by her 14 grandchildren, and her lifelong friend Jaimey Benton-Garrett.
Beth loved Idaho's outdoors and it loved her back. Her passions included spending time with her numerous friends and family, taking every opportunity to be on a boat, fishing, gardening and plants, creating beautiful jewelry and photography, cooking and baking, having exquisite taste in classic cars, and feeling the wind in her face on the back of a Harley.
A celebration of life was held for Beth on May 1, 2021 at her home.
