Read MoreI was a TA for Mrs Bessel in the early 80s. She was such a fun, kind and strong person. She taught us to be confident young ladies during the confusion of middle school. I will always appreciate the wisdom and grace she imparted. She was one of the best! Heaven has gained an angel. With sympathy,

Kesty, Mike & John I am so sorry for your loss of your loving Mother and wife. She was my teacher and a great lady. Little did I know her daughter would become my best friend. Still I could only refer to her as Mrs. Bessel even at family events just out of respect. She will be greatly missed. And I will also be grateful for the sewing machine she gave me. I will always cherish it and our friendship. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Love Shawna Paulson & Family

To the Bessel Family:
What great memories I have of teaching with Bev in the 70's and 80's. It was a pleasure to work with Bev in the PE department and coach the Lee Jr. High Wildcats. She did so much for Lee school and her students. An outstanding teacher and lady.
