Most of Beth's life was spent in West Haven where she was a devout communicant of the former St. Lawrence Church and a member of its' St. Therese Guild. For many years she worked for the West Haven Board of Education as a cook. Summer family trips, spending time at the beach created countless memories for Beth.
