Elizabeth Beth Bonacci
September 22, 1969 — January 18, 2021
Elizabeth (Beth) Valenly Bonacci, wife of Joseph Bonacci, entered into eternal rest on January 18, 2021, following a lengthy illness.
Beth was born in Sharon, PA on September 22, 1969 to Eugene Nelson & Jean (Nelson)Valenly-Colter.
She graduated from the former Hickory High School in 1987, Hermitage PA. She graduated from Wilma Boyd School of Travel, Pittsburgh, PA, in 1990 and attended Youngstown State University.
She met her husband, Joseph Bonacci, who always made her laugh in 2000. They were married at Our Lady of Fatima Church, Farrell, PA on September 6, 2003 and moved to Charleston, SC shortly after.
Beth was previously employed by First National Bank of PA but after moving to Charleston she was a proud stay-at-home Mom to her amazing autistic son, Bennett, born on November 15, 2004. He was non-verbal until almost 5 years of age, but now has a "WHOLE lotta sass!

Also surviving are her sister, Regina Valenly of Hermitage, PA, stepsister, Janice Colter of Darien, GA, stepbrother, James Colter of Jacksonville, FL, her mother-in-law, Mary Bonacci of Hermitage, PA, sisters-in-law, Debbie Stefanak of Hermitage, PA, Joanne (Jeff) Titus of Transfer, PA, and Mary (Brad) Bleier of Wassenaar, Netherlands.
