BACKGROUND
Elizabeth Shea was born on September 30, 1929. Soon after, she was adopted by the affluent Sarah and John Beckett.Â
Despite being raised through the Great Depression, the Beckett family was left all but untouched by financial pitfalls. They would often take part in celebrations at the Ritz, or engage in other luxurious activities. As she got older, Shea would develop a sense of guilt over her family’s excessive wealth. Such feelings would intensify with the start of WWII; living through that, and seeing all the horrors that came with it, left her humbled.Â
After she graduated Trinity School, Shea decided to go on to college. It wasn’t out of the pursuit of advanced education that she made this decision. It was to prolong the inevitable; her engagement to a man of her parents’ choice. She went on to go to Barnard College, with a focus on the arts. Despite her motives, she enjoyed her time there greatly. Unfortunately, it had to come to an end.
Upon graduation from college, Shea was introduced to a fellow member of the upper crust, Clarence Walker. They dated for two years, despite Shea’s trepidation, and eventually got engaged. Their engagement was put off for as long as possible before they were finally wed on March 17th, 1955.Â
Shea escaped the reception for a moment, and when she walked out onto the terrace, she ended up in Sage Lake.Â
OTHER
The Becketts put their children through a lot of classes, such as ballet, piano, etc. None of them really stuck with Shea. She had developed an interest in art, specifically clothing design. Sewing is where her true passion came through; actually bringing the idea together into something tangible was undeniable.
She’s really good with her hands; creating, repairing, building things. She loves that.
She never succeeded with ballet, but she’s still a pretty good dancer.
Except a select few, no one knows her full name. From the moment she stepped into Sage Lake, she’s been known as Shea Beckett.
