Obituary For Beth Ann Reale

Beth Ann Reale, 22, of Scituate, died peacefully on Thursday, May 21, 2009, surrounded by her family. Born in Quincy, Beth was a 2006 graduate of South Shore Vocational Technical High School in Hanover, and a longtime volunteer working with elderly residents at the Cardigan Nursing home and the Life Care Center in Scituate. In 2003 she was honored by State Representative Frank Hynes for being the Cardigan volunteer of the year. In 2006 she was named the National Life Care Youth Volunteer of the Year and traveled to Tennessee to accept her award at their Annual Meeting. Always helping others, she also appeared on a telethon with TV personality Natalie Jacobsen in support of the “Genesis Fund� to raise money for Children’s Hospital. She enjoyed traveling with family and friends and frequently visited Disney World, and was quite the “Tink� (Tinkerbell) freak. She was an avid fan of technology and was “queen of the iPhone�. She enjoyed Facebook and working on her page. She loved music and movies, and her favorite TV shows included Family Guy, House, Jon and Kate plus 8, ER, Paula Dean and Designing Women.

She loved going to concerts and was an “Inner Circle� member of the South Shore Music Circus and always wheedled her way into a celebrity photo. She was a shop ‘til you drop kind of girl, and she loved the girlie things: manicures and Bath and Body works. Her favorite things to eat (aside from McD’s) were shrimp and lobster, and she enjoyed trying all kinds of martinis when she went out to dinner. In her younger days, she sang in the choir at St. Mary's Church in Scituate. She loved to dance.

Beth is the beloved daughter of Albert H. Reale, Jr. of Chester, Massachusetts, and Joann P. (Salvatore) Reale of Scituate, Massachusetts. She was the devoted big sister to Hannah Reale, and granddaughter of Albert and Theresa Reale of Florida, Marie Ryan and her husband Neil of Maine, and the late Robert “Bumpie� Salvatore. She is also survived by 44 aunts, uncles, cousins and step-family along with a large circle of friends, teachers and supporters.

Visiting hours will be held at Magoun-Biggins Funeral Home, 135 Union St., Rockland from 2-4 and 7-9 pm on Wednesday, May 27, 2009. A Funeral Mass will be held at Saint Mary’s of the Sacred Heart Church, 392 Hanover St., Hanover, Massachusetts, 02339, at 10:00 am on Thursday, May 28, with a reception immediately following at the Rockland Golf Course, 276 Plain Street (Rt 139), Rockland, MA 02370. There will not be a cemetery service.

In lieu of flowers, food, and other heartfelt efforts to support the entire family in this time of grief, contributions can be made to the Beth Reale Memorial Trust Fund.

    Dear JoAnn Hannah and family, Beth and I have been friends since we were toddlers. She was my best friend. She was caring and nicest person I knew.One of the best memories i have of Beth is when we were little beth and i would have to be when we had sleepovers and play together. and another is when we were little we drank bottles together. Another memory we shared was having our first shunt revisions together and sharing the same room after our operations. I will miss her very much and will always think of her. She will definetly be missed a whole lot. My prayers go out to her family and friends. We will see you tommorrow. Love and prayers, Courtney Cappelluzzo

    Our first memory of Beth was painting Beth's fingernails at the NCO Club. She shared amusing stories and had a wonderful big girl time with Bette Callahan and me. She always had a smile and an amusing ancti tdote to share.We all loved lobster especially ones her dad caught. We will miss you. May your family be at peace with our Lord. IYAAYAS!

    To Beth's family...my memories of your Beth will be cherished by me forever! ....She was my "Shining Star",the "Class Leader"....always filled with that happy, exuberant spirit that made us all love her so much...She excelled in anything she undertook!... Two of the fondest memories of her Pre-K school days were her very special "Show and Tells" (she planned with her dad and mom) for her classmates. First,Dad brought his " real life 16 wheeeler super truck" to school for "day of play" ...and our favorite one of all was when Beth had her mom bring her newly born sister "Hannah" to our "morning talk circle!" I am sure Beth will continue to expound all of her wonderous attributes in God's heavenly kingdom....we love you Beth!.....Fran Jacobs

    Joann Hannah & family. It's Jack. I am so sorry to hear of Beth's passing. She was a great person. I kinda feel bad that for some reason (which to this day i am confused about) we kinda had a disagreement over something. & Beth was a little upset at me for. I dont think it was resolved unfortunately. But that's ok. Beth was a great person. & will be sadly missed. May she rest in peace & let the knowledge of all the people that loved her comfort you. Beth, R.I.P. hun.

    Dear Beth, You were the light of your Mother's life, and your Dad's heart and soul. You were an inspiration to all who met you. Your sense of humor, your killer smile and your sense of determination. It was a priveledge to know you, and be your Aunt. Though probably unaware, you inspired others by simply being you. We all loved you and will miss you. Aunt Peg, Uncle Jim and the Boys.

    When Beth was about 2 we stayed at her house for a night - she woke us in the morning - very early - she could use her 2 little arms and hands to pick up her whole body and move around the house - she was just amazing - we will miss her - God could not cure her so he took her in his arms and took away all her pain - our love to all

    I saw the beautiful young person that Beth was and the incredible forces of nature that had aligned against her. Not a thing was able to break her spirit or stop her from sharing her smile with anyone who spent some time with her.

  • 05/25/2021

    Dear Joann and Hannah- I'm at a loss for words; my deepest sympathy to you. Beth was an amazing young woman and has gone far too soon. She was one of the "spunkiest" of my "kids" back in my days at school and I so enjoyed and valued that quality in her. It was pretty cool so many years later to work side by side with her for awhile at Life Care too. She brought so much to so many people; she will truly be missed. I still have my golden macaroni angels from Beth and Hannah that hang on my Christmas tree every year; they will always be treasured. My heart breaks for you. Love, Cathy Horgan
