She married the late Rev. Dr. Paul J. Kane in 1965.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; a grandson, Emery Paul Kane; and a daughter-in-law, Jennifer (Waite) Kane.
Beth was immensely proud of her family and her Swedish heritage. She passed along her appreciation for life to her family, and leaves behind countless memories of love, laughter, dignity, and determination. In her spare time, she was an avid reader, a tireless gardener, and a devout member of her church. As a proud Pittsburgher, she enjoyed watching and listening to the Pirates, Steelers, and Penguins with her Iron City Beer.
