It is Elizabeth Daley Mahony‘s birthday today. Beth was born in Providence on this date to the late Joan Louise (Riley) Daley (1929-2019) and the late Frederick A. Daley (1927-1991). Beth’s maternal late grandparents were Patrick Joseph Riley (1900-1985), Margaret Cecelia McSally(1900-1938) and Margaret Frances Bartley (1911-1878), while her late paternal grandparents were John Thomas Daley (1892- ?) and Delia Calahan (1893- ?). Delia (Bridget) was born in Ireland.

After attending schools in Pawtucket – St Teresa’s and Saint Raphael Academy – Beth was off to the University of Rhode Island, where she not only got herself a degree, but charmed a guy named Tom Mahony. A year or two after URI, the couple married and settled in California where she and Tom have built a new life and a wonderful family.

And here is a slightly out of focus photo from Beth and Tom’s wedding reception:

Happy Birthday, Beth!
