Beth Avis (MacWilliam) Leone

My deepest condolences to the Leone family. I spent many years with Fred in the Elks and considered him a mentor.
My fond regards to Larry.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

Larry Leone was a dear friend of mine at Portland High School, and I want to express my condolences to him and his family on the passing of his mother. I do recall that both she and Larrys dad were much engaged in and with Larrys circle of friends and always, of course, supportive of those relationships.

As I read your obituary, I noticed that Mrs. Leone was born a MacWilliam in Portland. I am wondering whether she was related to the wonderful MacWilliams family that lived on Munjoy Hills Howard Street when I lived nearby on Beckett Street. I may well have known of that relationship back in high school, but I just dont recall it at this time.

Please do wish Larry my best and warmest regards.

Sincerely yours,
David S. Turesky

I worked with Beth at Peat Marwick for almost 18 years. Beth was a wonderful person to work with. She administratively supported the tax professionals and was very thorough and careful to make sure our clients received their income tax returns timely. She had a wonderful personality. Even in the most stressful times she could find a way to comfort her co-workers. The only "fault" that I remember about Beth was her passionate love of the NY Yankees. I have thought of her often and am happy to hear that she has had a long and rewarding life. My deepest sympathies to her family.

Aunt Beth was one of a kind. Dick and I feel so lucky to have had her in our lives. Beth was a friend, mentor, and lucky for us the greatest aunt anyone could wish for. She and Freddie will live in our hearts forever.

So many wonderful and happy memories too many to share here. Aunt Beth what is a kind, thoughtful, caring, and loving person. We feel so lucky to have benefited from having her as a mentor and family member.
