Beatrice Ward Obituary
January 1, 1925 - February 20, 2020
Beatrice Colleen (Connie) Ward was born on January 1, 1925 and passed away on February 20, 2020 surrounded by family. Some of you knew her as Connie Nagy, co-owner of Sparky's Drive-In and manager of Montgomery Ward, Connie Caroon or Connie Ward. She lived through the Great Depression, World War II and the wars that followed. She lived through 17 Presidencies, worked for 10 years at Goodyear Rubber crawling into our war aircraft wings to install fuel tanks. She moved to Victorville in the late 1940's, to Texas with her husband Darrell Caroon, and back to California. She raised Patricia Teas Nagy, Mildred Colvin Nagy, Bob Harris Nagy, Steve Nagy (deceased), Cliff Nagy, Bruce Nagy (deceased), Lee Caroon, Gwen Caroon and Lonnie Caroon. She has dozens of grand, great and great-great-grandchildren! She taught painting to her fellow seniors at Apple Valley Senior Citizens and was a founding member of the "Goldenaires". Her legacy for music and painting live on throughout our family. She had so many stories and memories she shared with us! She was the best mom any kids could ask for! We will miss her so much! Rest in your Savior, Jesus, Mom...Until we see you again! Private services will be held by family. Donations may be made to the Apple Valley Senior Citizens.

I knew Connie when she married my brother in 1946.I will miss knowing that she is in Apple Valley. I regret that I did not get to see her before she passed on to be with Jesus. Will see her again though,at some time. Love you Connie and my nephew Bob Harris. My deepest sympathy to the family. Aunt Kay
