She was a member of the GE Quarter Century Club, the GE Women’s Club, and the GE Athletic Association. After her retirement from GE, she continued to work at Mr. Meyers Bakery with her nephew until she was 90 years old.

She was also a member of St. Anthony’s Choir for over 50 years and an annual Festa volunteer. Ms. DeBlasio was a volunteer for the City Mission and Schenectady Inner City Mission. Beatrice was devoted to her family and was a great example of how to live out the Catholic faith.
