Elizabeth “Beti” Kelco, of Roswell, Georgia, went into the loving arms of our Savior on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at the age of 83.
A Beautiful Life
Beti was born on September 30, 1942, in Manhattan, New York. Her early life was spent in the Garden State, growing up in Metuchen and Iselin, New Jersey, before later moving to Honolulu, Hawaii, where she and her husband, Robert Kelco, lived with their son, Christopher. After her husband’s retirement from the Marines, she then moved back to NJ, living for many years in Metuchen before establishing her home in Roswell, Georgia.
As a child, Beti displayed an early talent and zest for life, which led her to become the lead actress and singer in an off-Broadway production of South Pacific. She brought joy to many viewers with her cheerful disposition on the set of Ted Macks Amateur Hour in her late teens. And later on in politics and Owner/Founder of Robbins Travel Agency. Beti’s life was defined by her deep commitment to God, her family, friends, and her loving pet, Faith. She always knew how to make people laugh and made friends everywhere she went, including the staff at all her favorite restaurants. Her greatest joy was her faith in Jesus, family and friends - and she leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and devotion. She cherished her loving community in Roswell, Georgia, and particularly treasured her dear friends Susan, Janie and Donna.
