The sweetest angel earned her wings. It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elizabeth (Beth) Hayes Heery on January 7, 2025 at the age of 77. Beth was born on November 30, 1947 to Harold Francis Feeny and Judith Parks (Hill) Feeny. She was predeceased by; parents, Harold and Judith Feeny; and one sister, Roslyn Gallipoli. She is survived by; her children, Dawn Karika, Paulette (Eric) Lee, Jodi (Russell) Carey, Keri (Sean) Coyne; grandchildren, Dylan Bridger, Connor Coyne, Kyle Lee and fiancé Eden Oefelein.
Beth spent the majority of her life in Upstate, New York outside of a brief stay in Leesburg, FL while caring for her mother. Beth spent her final 2 ½ years of life residing with her daughter Paulette and Son-in-Law Eric in Harpursville, NY. Beth truly knew that it was more blessed to give than to receive. Her generosity knew no bounds. Beth was a loving mother and grandmother and a beautiful soul who would help anyone. Her radiant smile lit up any room she entered. Beth loved working with special needs children at BOCES and as a home health aide for Interim Health Care. She proudly told anyone and everyone that she was a home health aide. At both places of employment, she made many strong and lasting friendships that she fondly remembered often. She enjoyed playing volleyball, watching her daughter’s play sports, spending time with her grandsons, dancing, and spending every possible moment with her best friend and sister Roslyn Gallipoli. She lived life to the fullest and especially loved spending time with her family, friends, and her beloved cats.
While our hearts mourn the loss, we take comfort in knowing her mind is free from confusion and she is no longer suffering. She will live in our hearts forever.
