On October 2, 1965 Elizabeth married Curtis Bradley, and this union produced four children. Eric, Irene, Scott, and Curtis II. Her oldest Eric preceded her in death in February 2024.

A devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and Aunt, very much family oriented, Beth’s greatest joy came from spending time with family members and friends. Beth was a praying woman and always strong and committed to her faith. She always made a point to share her Bible and beliefs with others and help them in their spiritual journeys along the way.
