Elizabeth was a lifelong member of the CWL of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Mabou, as well as member of Cape Breton Fiddlers Association. A gifted Cape Breton Scottish piano player, she and her late husband, Donald Angus Beaton entertained for many years at Cape Breton square dances, concerts, picnics and weddings. ...
