My heart was so sad when I learned of Bea's death and her daughter too, Belinda Galde. I have known these two for many many years and it has been that long since I had seen them. But nevertheless their's were tragic deaths and I was heartbroken when I found out. May Bea and Belinda RIP. My thoughts and prayers go out to their families.

I have the fondest memories of Bea, she was a neighbor growing up in Darrington & we were there half the time. She was a classy lady, always smiling & always positive. Thanks for my sweet memories, loved you!

She was and is my idol , when I got the privilege of doing beas hair I learned that there was no age gap, her being close to 60 years older didn't matter. We would talk tv shows, hair fashion, and things that girl friends discuss. Her passion and sassy ways made me realize how I want to be at her age, as a matter of fact how I want to be now. She was an incredible woman. Prayers

My mother Rosalie, thought so highly of Bea. They had traveled together and with Fern to Ireland, San Francisco and lunched together as often as possible. She enjoyed Bea's friendship so much and thought she was a wonderful lady. My mom passed away this past June - I hope they are traveling together again now. Our deepest sympathy for your loss of Bea and Belinda. Carol and Don Blacker

Bea and roger were my next door neighbors for many years. When roger first started having problems with his alzhemiers he would come to my house to get cookies. I would give him one and then take him back to Bea. She would always ask me if it bothered me. I told her no, that he was always welcome. She would hug me and tell me how much it meant to her. Bea was the sweetest neighbor. She was like a gramma to my boys. She will be forever missed.

Gramma Bea, I so enjoyed our visits, having tea, and hearing your stories, laughing, and sharing our loves. I will miss you.

I enjoyed working with Bea at Regency Care Center. She always had a smile and was a delight to be around!! She was a excellent driver. On her way home one night just as a landslide was sliding down on Hwy 530 directly in her path, she swerved and speeded around it. It was the most amazing maneuver I ever seen! She was one brave lady!! Prayers for her family.

I will always remember Bea fondly, lived in the house on the same street as my grandparents. There is no doubt this amazing woman would have lived to be easily 105! What a true inspiration to all. A senseless tragedy we will never understand. Our hearts are with you every moment of every day.
