McKEEFERY, ELIZABETH M.

McKEEFERY, ELIZABETH M., 86 – of Sea Isle City passed away September 8, 2016. She was surrounded by her family as she returned peacefully to her Lord. “Betty” was born in Philadelphia to Frank and Catherine Brophy in 1930. She graduated West Catholic Girls High School in 1948.

They moved to Sea Isle City full time 1996 to enjoy retirement. After 61 years of marriage, “Pop” predeceased her in 2007. Betty loved the beach and she loved the ocean. She was an avid reader and enjoyed every movie classic. She never passed up a fresh oyster and she looked forward to Sundays and Tuesdays, the only days Busch’s sold their famous She Crab Soup. She enjoyed winters in Florida and later in life traveled the country. She loved to garden. She loved to shop. She loved to coupon. And she loved to cook. Most of all she loved her life and she loved her family.
