Mrs. Campbell was a faithful parishioner of St. Margaret Church for 40 years.

Bea and Dage Sr. met at a school dance when they were young teens. He could not help but notice "that beautiful gal in a gorgeous red dress". They found love at first sight, and shared a lifetime of devotion. They loved to dance, and were always the first couple out on the floor.

During her years in Lowell, Bea enjoyed entertaining guests and hosting family gatherings, especially birthday celebrations, holidays and pool parties. She was famous for her amazing French dishes, which she loved to cook for all to enjoy.

Beatrice and Ildage Sr. retired to Naples, Florida, where they lived for 28 years. They enjoyed traveling throughout the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and Europe.

After the recent passing of her beloved husband, she moved to Meadow Lodge in Chelmsford to spend time with her large, loving family.
