Preceded in death by her beloved parents, Edna & Arthur Schlueter. She will also be missed & remembered by many nieces & nephews and countless friends.

Beatrice was born on October 16th, 1923. On that very same day, apparently foreseeing that baby Bea would need to be entertained, brothers Walter & Roy founded the Disney Bros Cartoon Studio. After growing up on Milwaukee's north side & graduating from Rufus King High School in 1941, Beatrice met William, marrying on May 29th, 1948. The years that followed were dedicated to making a home for her family, being a wonderful influence on her grandchildren & great-grandchildren while also finding time to work at Walgreens, Court Drugs, and Hartters bakery. Her later years were a happy, busy time dominated by family, friends, travel, and many enjoyable (and sometimes profitable) trips to various casinos.

Bea lived through the development of radio, television, space travel, cell phones & the internet, as well as rapid advancement in automobiles & airplanes. But to hear her say it, she would probably add the designated hitter to the list. Bea was a lifelong baseball fan, watching the minor-league Milwaukee Brewers at Borchert Field, the Milwaukee Braves at County Stadium, as well as the modern-day Brewers. She attended World Series games, many playoff encounters, and had the ultimate thrill of throwing out the first pitch at a game in 2011 at the age of 87.
