ST. JAMES — Elizabeth Louise “Beth” Yeisley, 74, passed away Wednesday, July 17, 2019.
Mrs. Yeisley was born Aug. 2, 1944, to the late Edward Callahan and Elizabeth Veronica Crosby. She was born and raised in Jersey City. A graduate of Wagner College, she had been a public school teacher for many years. Mrs. Yeisley met her husband, Rex, on a blind date; they were married shortly thereafter. They were married for 38 years until his passing in 2007. She was a proud wife and mother of three Penn State graduates, which made her a loyal Penn Stater.
Mrs. Yeisley was a New York Yankee’s fan and enjoyed going to games with her sons. Nothing made her more proud than her family. Having retired to St. James 14 years ago, she made many new friends, enjoyed playing ping-pong and worked at Bullfrog Corner along with her dog, “Bella.”
Survivors include her three sons, Rexford Allen Yeisley, Jr., Ryan Edward Yeisley and Ross Arden Yeisley; sister, Eileen Donnelly; nephew, Keith Edward Donnelly, and his wife, Concetta; and grand-nieces, Michaela and Keira. She was preceded in death by her husband, Rexford Allen Yeisley Sr.
