On September 19, 1958, Beth married the love of her life, Alfred W. Lee of Dexter, in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. Together they built a life centered on family, hard work, and devotion to one another.
Beth pursued higher education and proudly earned her Master's Degree in Social Services. She went on to dedicate her career as a mental health practitioner, working in multiple settings where she made a lasting difference in the lives of many.
Outside of her professional life, Beth loved gardening, particularly tending to her vegetables and flowers. She was an avid reader and collector of many books.
