Mary Beth started working in education in 1970, mostly as a kindergarten teacher, and in my later years, as a school administrator.  She was a vital part of the educational community wherever as she worked tirelessly with children and their parents.

Mary Beth was diagnosed with end-stage renal failure in 2012; peritoneal dialysis followed for over 4 years; and her kidney transplant came in 2016 when she received a kidney from Konrad Reulan. Konrad had recently added his name to the voluntary organ donor list.  He was 29 years old when he tragically passed, unexpectedly.
