I have known Bea for many years as we worshiped and served at Vineville Baptist Church. Her husband Ed kept records for the children's Sunday School class I taught. We also all were part of a square dancing group. Bea was an amazing woman. She once told me she walked every day even when she was in her 80's. I always felt very close to her and saw her as a great role model to all women. My deepest sympathy to her family in this great loss.

Thank you, Aunt Bea, for being such a great example to us. We really enjoyed sightseeing, playing games and eating with you. Your energy was astounding! I loved how you were visiting shut-ins and old people who were probably younger than you! Love you!
