Beth Stewart was raised in the suburban Philadelphia area until she was transplanted to San Diego by her mother (“Muzzy”), who wanted to escape her memories and start anew elsewhere. Beth then moved to Orange County in the early 80's where she married and pursued a career.

Banking on her highly proficient communication skills, Beth’s career focused mainly around office work, spanning from the manager of the dating service, Great Expectations, to the worlds best corporate receptionist. Her brilliant ability to multi-task was an invaluable addition to her various employers, particularly at the Lloyd Andersen Group of Companies where Beth, Karlene, and Patricia first met and became friends. Beth was known around the office as “Bethie Fickie” because she could fix virtually anything. From a stubborn copy machine to a ruffled telephone client to a tricky appointment schedule, Bethie Fickie could be relied on to save the day.

In the workplace, Beth was also known for her impeccable appearance. With never a hair out of place or a hint of a chipped nail, Beth’s style, good taste and grooming was legendary. Her outfits were always exquisitely accessorized, her shoes and purse an exact match, and her make-up sculpted to perfection. Even casual day at work would find Beth in high-fashion designer jeans and exclusive brand name shoes.
