Aunt Bea was a kind and gentle lady. She was self-giving and appreciative of any kindness directed to her. She was a loving and faithful wife. She raised a beautiful family and had the patience of Job and a heart of gold. Her life was fully enriched by her faith and the love she had for her family, relatives, and friends.
Aunt Bea was blessed with inner beauty. Her clothing was always classic in style and color. We remember her coconut pies! She was a good cook. Goodbye, Aunt Bea. You were and are an inspiration. We will miss you.
