Beth
was truly a Rockville Centre girl born in Mercy Hospital, she lived on
Harvard Avenue for 31
years, received all her sacraments at St. Agnes and was to have been
married here on December 30, 2001. Fate however had different plans for
her as she arrived early for work on the 101st floor of Tower
One on September 11th. Beth was a vice president for E-Speed,
a division of Cantor Fitzgerald and the Director of Investment
Relations. She loved her job and was very happy with her life.
Beth
approached everything in life full-hearted whether she was running track for
Sacred Heart Academy, life-guarding over summers, teaching children to swim or
spending time with her niece and goddaughter, little Caroline. Her friends
from home and school recount all their hilarious adventures together and laugh
while wiping their tears away at the same time.
Beth was devoted to her parents, her brother Brian, her
sister-in-law Jane Ellen and above all her
grandparents, Pop and Nan, whom she visited weekly to stir up a little
mischief.
Her fiancé Doug Cleary always said that when he first met
Beth she was the greatest mixture of fun, intelligence, wit and beauty. They
had a beautiful life planned and were to live in Manhattan in Tudor City, when
they returned from their honeymoon.

We only had Beth for 31 years, but we thank God for having
had her with us. She showered us with her love, her tremendous sense of humor,
her kindness and generosity. Hers was definitely a million-dollar smile and
there was nothing too big that Beth wouldn’t tackle. Her tremendous spirit
will always be a part of us who miss her so desperately.
