May 12, 1955 – February 22, 2026
Elizabeth M. “Beth” Graziano, 70, of Brick, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 22, 2026.
Born in Newark, Beth resided in Nutley and Union Beach before moving to Brick in 2010. She attended Montclair State College and graduated from Berkeley Secretarial School. Beth worked for fourteen years as a medical transcriptionist at Passaic General Hospital and was a devoted member of the Anchor Church.
Beth was truly one of a kind. She lived life boldly, with an eccentric spirit and a mind of her own. She cherished Graziano family gatherings, as her family was always dear to her heart. With her sharp wit and unforgettable sense of humor, she left a lasting impression on everyone she met.
She found joy in her soap operas, faithfully following every twist and turn, and in the quiet competition of the games on her phone. Beth appreciated life’s simple, everyday moments in her own unique way.
Beth was predeceased by her parents, Dorothy and Louis Graziano. She is survived by her beloved son, Timothy Graziano of Keansburg; her daughter-in-law, Sarah; her treasured grandson, Cyrus Kenneth Graziano; Dennis and Lilah, who were her whole heart; her goddaughter, Alexzandria Miller; her brother, Louis Graziano; and many extended family members and dear friends.
A Funeral Mass will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at Visitation Roman Catholic Church, 730 Lynnwood Avenue, Brick.
Beth and I became friends and family through her son Timmy. But mostly for our love of our grandson Cyrus. We also shared a close birthday Beth’s birthday was the day before mine. She was very kind, smart and I’m so very happy we were friends.
My mom was not your typical mother. Baby talk was never a thing, I was never told a book was too mature for me (TV, movies, and music were a different story but I digress.) But Mom also always spoke to me on my actual level as opposed to some arbitrary level of sophistication because of my age. She met me where I was.
My mother was fiercely protective and even more loving. She would do insane things to make things happen for me.
Thank you, Mom, for teaching me that the most important part of raising kids is loving them even when they’re out of their mind crazy and driving you there too.
I guess I have so much more to tell you, Mom. Give all my Grandmas and Grandpas hugs from me.
I love you.
RIP BETH. YOU WERE ALWAYS SO KIND & LOVING. MUCH LOVE FROM JIMMY STANFORD.
Rest in Peace Beth. I love you ❤️ so much.
