Beth was born at Alice Springs. Beth attended the bush school at Ipolera, before moving to Hermansberg with her parents. She moved to Papunya in 2003 with her husband, Reggie Lankin, and her daughter so they could be close to Reggie's family. His grandparents who have passed away came from Papunya.

During the week, Beth workes at the Papunya Council office handling all the Centrelink enquiries.
