Elizabeth "Beth" Ferguson

Beth was born in Hyannis on December 9th, 1965, to the late Lawrence Balegno and the late Mary (Murdy) Balegno. She graduated from Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School, with the class of 1983. She attended Boston University, and worked several jobs before finding her career at the Department of Developmental Services as a service coordinator. Recently, she took on the role of Regional Autism Program Coordinator. Beth loved her job, and as both her clients and her friends can attest, she dedicated her life to helping others.

She was her son, Charlie Ferguson’s, greatest fan, attending all his theatrical performances with The Barnstable High School Drama Club as well as latest projects. Through the BHSDC, she met some her best friends, lovingly referring to them as "The Drama Mamas."

She is predeceased by her parents, Lawrence and Mary, and her brother, Gerry Balegno. She is survived by her son, Charlie, as well as many cousins and dear friends.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Gotschall Access Program c/o Community Autism Resources 33 James Reynolds Rd, Unit C, Swansea, MA 02777.
