Sarah Elizabeth Daly

Beth Daly was a lady of undying faith, incredible creativity, and the one to turn to when things needed to be done. Her determination and caring nature brought many friends into her life through the Church, community, and civic organizations she served.

Surrounded by family, she passed away Friday, December 30, 2011 at age 72. She had a full, joyful, and active life with her husband of 20 years, Dr. Raymond E. Daly, III. They immersed themselves in friends and fellowship through Vicars Landing and Christ Episcopal Church at Ponte Vedra Beach.

Beth is survived by her three children, Scott (Jan) Olson, Kent (Leigh) Olson, Paige (G) Olson; three grandchildren, Riley Olson, Gordon Olson, and Parker Olson; seven stepchildren, Raymond Daly IV, Peter Daly, Lee Daly, Dawn Daly, Gail Daly, Alan Daly, Thomas Daly; and 14 step-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother, A.H. (B.J.) Tebault of St. Augustine.

Beth was born in St. Augustine, Florida and graduated from FSU with a B.S. in Speech Therapy in 1961. She was devoted to many causes and over the years assisted Hubbard House, was an active member of the Junior League of Jacksonville, the American Cancer Society, The Bolles School Mother’s Association, The Bartram School’s Board of Trustees, the Heart Guild, among others. Her drive to make a difference even took her to Washington where she testified before a sub-committee on domestic violence. Her most recent areas of focus have been Mission House and creating “Shared Treasures” to benefit the Christ Church Foundation. When not volunteering, she dearly enjoyed painting, decorating, and being with her family.

Memorial services will be held at Christ Episcopal Church of Ponte Vedra Beach at 4 p.m., Thursday, January 5, 2012. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Mission House, 800 Shetter Avenue, Jacksonville Beach, Florida 32250. A private interment will be held prior to the services for immediate family.
