In 1940, Beth married her husband of fifty seven years, Edward A. Kenreich.

In 1982, Beth and Ed retired to Fort Myers, FL where Beth learned to play golf. Following the death of Ed in 1989, Beth returned to Savannah with her brother John and took up residence at Savannah Square where she enjoyed gardening and traveling, visiting Great Britain, Alaska, and Hawaii.
