Sally, I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Mother. Bea was an amazing lady and made a lasting impression on everyone she ever met. She loved you very much and the closeness you shared will forever be in your heart. We are all blessed to have known Bea and shared part of her life. My favorite memory of Bea is her stretched out on our couch, reading a book, and eating an ice cream cone. My thoughts, prayers, and love are with you now and always. God Bless

Dear Ellen, I am so sorry to read of your Mother's passing from this life. I met her once when Sidney was in a play at Little Town Theater. I was amazed that she was living in Granada and I admired her strength to be able to do such a thing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Denis as you lay this beautiful woman to rest.

My friendship with Bea goes back to our training days for community action work at the University of Wisconsin in the mid-60's. She was a remarkable woman and a doer. No doubt, the world (and a lot of people who inhabit it) are much better off for having had Bea Simpson in it for 93 years. Their changed lives are her most effective obituary. Rest in peace, dear friend.

The Mustards will certainly honor Ms. Bea by planing a rosebush in the yard of their new home in Georgia. She made a lasting footprint on our lives as a woman to model your life after. Full of spunk, courage, and a love of life while always thinking of others and their needs. God Bless your soul, Ms. Bea as you are now in God's Kingdom.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Bea. She certainly lived a long, active, and exciting life. She loved her children and raised them to value an education,become good citizens, and become involved in the community.
I have some wonderful memories of our good times on Edgewood Drive. I am sure Bea has already arranged a bridge club in heaven. I know the pain that is in your heart is difficult to bare but rejoice in the wonderful memories.

Simpson Family,
We treasure the many memories of Mrs. Simpson. She never falied to write us a letter while she was in Grenada and tell us about her adventures. Her letters were so ineresting and was glad she kept us informed about the Peace Corps. We could tell she was injoying herself. It was our privilege to get to visit with her when she came to her sister-in-law's Mrs. Ella Walton Ross (our neighbor).
She was a great remarkable lady.
May God bless each of you!
