Beth was a graduate of St. Marys High School, class of 1974 and West Virginia University at Parkersburg. She was a registered nurse and enjoyed her nursing career for thirty-two years at St. Joseph's Hospital until her illness made her unable to work. She enjoyed working with the new mothers and newborn babies so much. She also worked for Dr. Shaw and dialysis patients. She loved caring for others. Beth was born into a big family and she loved to come home to spend time with them when she was not working. She would often bring homemade bread and there was always a crew of nieces and nephews who were eager to see her come.
She loved her flowers, especially her violets which she shared with others. She and John enjoyed many good times sitting on the deck just seeing all the pretty pots of her blooming flowers with a cup of coffee. Just quiet times enjoying the beauty around them together.
