She moved around for a while after graduating high school, but ultimately found her true home in Austin, Tx in 1960. Beth graduated from the Brackenridge Hospital School of Nursing in 1977. She worked as a surgical nurse at Brackenridge Hospital for nearly thirty years and then as a case manager at North Austin Medical Center until she retired in 2020. Her entire career was in the service of others.
