We are so sorry to hear of Beanie's passing. She surely did love her family by keeping them close to her. She will be reunited with many of them who will be so glad to see her.

Beanie was always there for me. It will be hard not having her in my life as she felt like a second Mother to me. What a blessing she was for all who knew her. Thank you Beanie!

Very sorry to learn about Beanie's death. Cora Lee is my aunt so I have met Beanie several times over the years at family events. Am sure she will be missed by her family and friends. May God be with her family at this time.

I have fond memories of Aunt "Beanie" from early childhood. She was always kind to her nieces and nephews. She loved and valued her family. Even during her years of declining health I looked forward to seeing her at the Terrell family reunions where she would always tease me. I commend my cousin, Joan Mitchell, for the loving care she gave to Aunt "Beanie" during her years of declining health.

Aunt "Beanie" was always kind to her nieces and nephews. I have fond memories of her from my early childhood. She loved and valued her family. Even in the years of her declining health I always looked forward to seeing her at our family reunions. She always had something to say to tease me. And I commend my cousin, Joan Mitchell, for the loving care she gave to Aunt "Beanie" during her declining years. With Love, Wildon Terrell
