She lived in Kirkwood, Mo., during her school years, graduating from Kirkwood High School. She received a BS in home economics from the University of Missouri and did a year’s internship in Hospital Dietetics at the University of Michigan Hospital. She later returned to the University of Missouri as a dietitian in the dormitory system. She met her future husband, Jim, as a freshman at the University of Missouri at the beginning of World War II.

After moving to Burleson in 1987, Beth volunteered at her church and at Harvest House.
