Beth Ann Candello

Her parents, Norma (Houston) and Harry O. Paige Jr. welcomed their daughter into the world on October 16, 1956, in Keene, NH. Beth attended local schools including St. Joseph Regional School and Keene High School and was a 1974 graduate of Keene High.

Having a huge heart and deep love and concern for others including animals, Beth was a volunteer with the March of Dimes and at the Monadnock Humane Society. Over the years Beth rescued and cared for several horses, mules and donkeys at her property in Swanzey.

She worked for years helping her husband Mark with his business, MRC Controls. The industrial automation company specialized in automating snowmaking, city water systems and other pump systems. She most recently worked as a wiring technician with Turmoil, a company that manufactures electrical panels and is located in West Swanzey. She also worked as a licensed nursing assistant at the former McKerley Nursing Home now Genesis Keene Center.

She loved dabbling in genealogy and started a company called Relative Ease. She enjoyed riding dirt bikes and snowmobiling. She was loved by many and was known for being funny and smart.

She will be missed by many especially her children, Nicholas A. Candello of Swanzey, Andi Candello of Provincetown, MA, Antony R. Candello of Swanzey; her sisters Debra, Patti, Sharon, Barbara and Norma, all of Keene; her brother Harry Paige of Keene; her best friends, Amy Fletcher, Rondi Mahoney and Kathy Hamilton; and many nieces, nephews and extended family members. Her husband of 41 years, Mark R. Candello predeceased her on July 5, 2021. A sister Kathy Candello predeceased her on December 25, 2021.

Services will be held privately by her family.
