Beatrice, loved her family deeply and enjoyed every minute she had with them. She blessed many people with joy in her 97 years. Bea never missed an opportunity to share a conversation while eating fish, cheese and crackers or a loaf of sourdough bread. She loved to sing hymns from the Heavenly Highway hymnal and to go fishing. She wore a smile and was a little mischievous. If given a chance she would have you on the ground chanting a praise to King Siam, which turned out the be "O What a Goose I am". Most of all she was ready to meet Jesus Christ and always ready to share her faith with everyone.
