Bethany was a Realtor for Landmark Realty in Godfrey before beginning her tenure as the deputy village clerk for Godfrey in 2012. She won election to become the Godfrey’s village clerk in 2020. She supported numerous charitable organizations as a donor and volunteer over the years, including the Five A's, Alton Athletics Association, Rotary Club, and by fostering animals in the Partners for Pets program.
