Coffey of Chester, and Shelby G. Mayo of Charlottesville; three grandchildren, Chris, Matt and Josh; and one great-grandson, Sage.
A funeral service will be held 11 a.m. Saturday January 16, 2010, at the graveside at Oak Hill Cemetery, near Lovingston, with Pastor Bill Willis officiating.
The families suggest memorials take the form of contributions in Bee's memory to the Church of the Nazarenes building fund, at 1013 Elliott Avenue Charlottesville, VA 22902.
Bee's family wishes to thank the staff of the Laurels for her care and services as well as the Doctors and staff of Martha Jefferson Hospital and all her friends who were so attentive to her during her illness.
