Beth avidly read, and she loved mysteries, history, Nantucket, good food, sports, Jeopardy, the family dog, and family time. Beth was the loving wife of her husband of 38 years, David Mebane, and her two sons, Peter and Edward, were her pride and joy. Beth and David were often seen supporting the boys at sports and other events.
Beth grew up in Commack, NY, and graduated from UVA (1981) and BU Law School (1984). After moving to New Jersey, she worked in the Governor’s Office and then practiced law. She ultimately followed her passion for reading and books by earning a masters’ in library science from Rutgers University (2006), and she worked as a research librarian in the Westfield Library from 2006 until her passing.
Beth is survived by David, Peter and Edward, her mother Esther Pollack, her brother Howard Pollack, her aunt and uncle, and numerous nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests gifts be made to the Friends of the Westfield Library or the Community Food Bank. Visitation will occur at Bernheim Apter Kreitzman Funeral Chapel, 68 Old Short Hills Road, Livingston, NJ on Wednesday December 13 from 3 pm to 6 pm. The family will be receiving guests at the Funeral Chapel on Thursday December 14 from 10:15 am until 11 am. Funeral Services will follow beginning at 11 am.
