Beaty was a dedicated wife, an amazing mother, a true friend and a sweet Bebe to her 7 grandchildren & 7 great grandchildren.
Beaty was an amazing woman who cared and loved everyone around her. She grew up in the country on a farm, and learned hard work and being kind would get you far. Her education began in a one room school house in the country. As a young lady in the 50's she lived with her girlfriends on Lake Ontario and enjoyed all that life offered. She was incredibly smart and beautiful and landed a job in Eastman Kodak where she began her career and later fell in love with her husband John. Together they worked hard, loved hard and created a beautiful life for their 3 children and 7 grandchildren.
Beaty created a warm home filled with love and the scent of delicious food. She was an amazing baker, her sticky buns, homemade bread, cookies, and numerous birthday & wedding cakes were loved by all. She had a green thumb and was a true plant whisperer who won awards for her creations. After raising her family Beaty returned to Kodak to finish out her career. Her and John were both lucky enough to retire early and enjoyed life to the fullest in Florida near her 2 sisters. Her love of cruises developed into a second career during retirement as a Royal Caribbean travel agent, where they enjoyed over 44 cruises. She loved her sparkle, enjoyed the slots, being with family & friend, creating feasts for company and dancing the jitter bug with John.
She lived life to the fullest and was always ready with a sweet smile that warmed your heart, a true gift she left behind for all she touched.
