Margaret Beha

March 22, 1920-Aug. 30, 2016

On August 30, 2016, long-time Livermore resident Margaret Beha died peacefully in Chico, CA, where she had moved to be with her daughter.

The eldest of five children, "Midge" was born March 22, 1920 in New Rochelle, NY, to Howard and Pere Robinson. At eighteen she graduated from New Rochelle High School then went on to Westchester School of Nursing in Valhalla, NY, to become a registered nurse. One of her teachers was William Beha, who soon began a very discreet but successful courtship that ended in their marriage on August 26, 1941, at Church of Magdalene in Pocantico Hills, New York.

Thus began a 60 year marriage that took them from New York to Fort Worth, TX, O'Neill, NB, Sioux Falls, SD, Black Mountains, NC, Atlanta, GA, Houston, TX, Livermore, CA, San Antonio, TX, and finally back to Livermore, all courtesy of the Veterans Administration, her husband's employer. Along the way, Midge produced four children, kept house and worked as a nurse in various hospitals in those cities.
Her energy and "let me help" approach to life touched many people. Midge volunteered to act as school nurse when Granada High lost its paid position, and she was present at home football games when a doctor was unavailable. More than once she interceded when a parent went too far with public discipline of a child.
A fine seamstress and a "closet" poet, Midge wore her Queen Mum hats to mass, sipped a little single malt, and danced while her favorite - lamb chops - sizzled on the grill.
Widowed in 2001, Midge Beha was a 50-year parishioner at St. Charles Borromeo where she was active in the lay ministry.
She is survived by two sisters, Pere Farquar of New York and June McDonald of Florida; her daughters, Pere Summers of Tucson, AZ, Nan D'Anna of La Mesa, CA, and Anelle Beha of Chico, CA; her son, Paul of Troutman, NC and two grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
A funeral Mass will take place at St. Charles Borromeo Church, Livermore, at 10 a.m. on October 11, 2016.
